L.A. was never me. Nashville is my home.

I'm from Michigan, but I'm just as country as anyone else. Maybe I don't have the speaking voice of most country singers, but it is what I love. It's how I've always sung, and it's what I grew up on.

I think I have a good head on my shoulders.

I love music, that it changes so much, but I also want to keep a bit of the country roots to make it country. I don't want to go too far away from it, or I would do pop music.

I'll never sing something that I've never been through. So even if I didn't write it, I have to have at least experienced it.

Hockey is my favorite because I'm from Michigan. I used to figure-skate and root for the Red Wings.

I would love to do a duet with Tim McGraw. I think that would be fun.
