You work side is for everybody. When you're at home, you're not wearing heels and your work attire.

[Carnival Ride] is part of a line from my favorite song on the album, "Wheel of the World." It sums up everything that's happened to me. It's nuts to think of where I was a couple of years ago.

I grew up listening to everything. I have such a love for music, but I don't want to make the same album over and over again.

Some weeks, I'm super-duper busy, so I can only fit cardio in here and there, a lot of stuff happens in the afternoon, so I can get up and have a workout, which makes me feel awesome for the rest of my day. There's just something sexy about feeling strong. And every night I'm onstage, I get another workout.

Nobody's going to tell me that my dog doesn't love me. That's crazy talk.

But as far as Twitter, I'll be in a restaurant and I'll get home and somebody tweeted and they talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing. In some cases, that could be dangerous, because you don't want everybody to know where you are every second of every day.

God put us here, on this carnival ride. We close our eyes never knowing where it'll take us next.
