Sometimes, that mountain you've been climbing, is just a grain of sand.

It's nice to know you have support. Last night I got a marriage proposal. I just laughed.

You never know what curve balls life is going to throw you and there's no way I can predict anything or make any assumptions about what the rest of my life is going to be like.

The only other time I've been away from home was when I went to college. And that was just an hour away, so I could always go home if I needed to.

As far as talent goes, we had pretty much everything, and I think that's why this year was so successful.

I respect country music because I feel like it's more about the talent and the songwriting.

I did most of my volunteer work when I was in college because I knew of more ways to get involved. In high school, we'd do things like, there was a homeless shelter near our hometown and our church group decorated one of the rooms. In college, I was in a sorority, and we did a lot of things, like pick up trash on the highway.
