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.

I am just like my mother. She raised me to love and take care of animals, especially the ones that need it the most and so I started Eddie's Rescue Ranch. We take in animals that need extra care and attention and the animals that get left behind.

There is no greater feeling than hanging out with my dogs, or just walking around the land with our horses. My rescue ranch is is where I feel the most at peace and where I'm reminded of the simple things in life and let the chaos of my crazy work life fade away.

I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I'm basically the same person I was when I won 'Idol,' or when I was 10.

I don't obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it.

I may not be Einstein but I know dumb plus dumb equals you.

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