I'm from Michigan and a down-home girl.

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.

It's honestly every time that I'm doing something, and every time I visit a station and hear my song on the radio and people buying my stuff, I'm like 'Are you kidding me? This is insane!'

In Los Angeles there's, like, this awful image because the girls are so skinny. I don't think it's attractive whatsoever, and I also think that it gives a bad image to kids that are in their early teens. It's not healthy.

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

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.

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