I sound like such a tool, but becoming a mother has made me next-level confident. I've never felt more empowered.

I'm always going to live in Texas. Texas is my home - it'll be my home forever.

Since you've been gone, I can breath for the first time.

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

I still watch 'Idol,' and it's still the No. 1 show, so obviously I'm not the only one who loves to sit at home and be entertained.

In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.

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