I just blow-dry my hair and put on mascara and lip gloss, and I'm ready to go. I really don't get long nails. They're so Edward Scissorhands.

I feel like you can be the best role model by being yourself.

I'm very friendly or whatever, but I would hardly say that I'm that cookie-cutter. I don't live in L.A. or New York. I live in Texas, and I go to hole-in-the-wall bars, so there's no paparazzi there.

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 sing songs that I have lived or I write them because I have lived them. I think the believability factor is key.

The fact that I get to do what I love and 14 years in, I'm still doing it - I don't know how anything could get better.
