I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids - because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.

I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl - I'm not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds - and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.

Everybody always says that I'm the girl next door, which makes me think that y'all must have a lot of weird next-door neighbours.

I love to sing, and I love to talk to people at meet-and-greets.

I don't love traveling, because I'm never home. It's hard when you have a family.

I know a lot of artists say, `If you want your song on my record, I get 50 per cent' I'd like to kick them in the face.

By keeping her heart protected, she'll never ever feel rejected.
