When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.

You should know that I lead, not follow

I'm from a small town where everybody always has something to say - you shouldn't sing secular music, you shouldn't do this or do that. A ton of "shouldn'ts."

I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I'm craving, I go for it. I'm never trying to lose weight - or gain it. I'm just being.

I'm sorry I'm crying again on national television.

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!

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