I wanted to be a vet, a nurse, a chef - I mean, anything but the music industry. But once I hit high school, the bug really bit me. You can't deny where you come from and what's in your genes, and music definitely was. I haven't looked back since.

I love the excitement, the childlike spirit of innocence and just about everything that goes along with Christmas.

I'm kind of old-fashioned, so I think the guy should always be the one to call. The girl just answers Or doesn't answer

Guys are really easy to get along with. It's a lot better than being on the bus with eight girls. But the worst part is being the only girl, because there's some days where you just wanna watch a chick flick.

'Need You Now' is a universal subject matter. It's something that not just country fans, not just pop fans - everybody's been there. And the production was a little left of center.

You pretty much can't get away from bacon or whiskey in the South. Put a doughnut in it and you'd be good to go.

My biggest celebrity crush is either Ryan Reynolds or Caleb Followill, the lead singer of Kings of Leon.
