I want my permanent address to be in Oklahoma. Someday, when I get married and I have kids, that's where I want to raise my kids.

A brand is a little different. Me, as Carrie the person, wanders around in sweatpants. And then, when I have to be Carrie Underwood, there is definitely a departure from your human side. It's good to make that separation from person to brand.

I got to meet some of the best people I've ever met, and we all grew as people and as entertainers.

I sleep with a light on in the bathroom so I can see where I'm at, because I wake up and have no clue!

Animals were my pets, and the thought of eating my pets freaked me out.

I stopped eating beef at 13 and stopped eating all meat a few years ago. I would feel guilty that what was on my plate was walking around yesterday. Either I could live with that or stop eating meat. I choose the latter, and I'm happier for it.

There's just something sexy about feeling strong.
