I think that having a public career is a bargain with the devil.

I crave cantaloupe like a crazy person. But I put salt all over it, so I don't know if it's that healthy.

It's important for country fans to know that I'm not just trying to come in and take their money for a CD.

I care about what people think of my heart, my music, my passion.

When I signed a record deal, I was always told by execs I needed to be like everybody else, that I had to show my midriff, things that would take away from who I want to be as an artist.

It's not fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe.

I think it's ironic that I fell in love with a man I thought I would never be interested in because he's an athlete. I was always, 'An athlete? Heck no.'
