All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.

Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job.

I wanted to be a jockey. I'm serious. First time I got on a horse, I loved it. That's what I wanted to be, but my dad asked me to start performing with my family.

I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.

I like to have a lot of fun. I just don't see myself as being sexy. It's more sass - more attitude - than sex.

I can express gratitude for the simple act of being able to breathe in and breathe out. I can move away from darkness and depression to light and hope. I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be. I am me, the true me; you are you, the true you - and that's good. That's beautiful. That's enough.

I was out once and had wine and I got sick to my stomach, and I vowed I would never drink again.
