I have so many wonderful people in my life. I've never had any major physical problems or an accident or anything like that. I'm a very, very lucky person, thus far, knock on wood.

I honestly in a lot of ways don't want to sing about my real life, because that's private.

I feel like I'm a product of this generation where everybody listens to charts with diverse music.

[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 autograph a lot of body parts of intoxicated people. And lots of shoes. And I signed a diaper once!

I don't want to listen to everybody's problems all the time. And I doubt anybody wants to listen to mine.

In the romantic sense, I'm pretty useless with guys. If I see somebody who I'm attracted to, generally I just think, 'Oh well, he's not interested in me.' The only time that I talk to guys is when they talk to me first.
