There's a lot of things that are said on the American Idol message board. I quit reading them because most of the people are very mean.

I, like a lot of people who are creative, need to step away. I can't have stuff to write about if I don't have a life. If I talk to people, hang out with my friends and hang out with my husband, I feel like I have better things to bring to the table.

I think it's okay to feel jealous, but it's how you deal with it that's the important thing. You have to be happy for your friends when they do well because you want them to do well. It's not a competition.

I'm anti-Valentine's Day. I don't believe - and this goes for anybody - your man shouldn't love you for one day out of 365. He should love you 365 days out of the year. I want Valentine's Day every day.

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!

It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life, starts with goodbye.

Growing up, I played softball and I was a cheerleader.
