The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.'

Gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and break away. I won't forget the place I came from.

It's amazing to impact people's lives - it's a cool thing to have the spotlight and be able to reassure people, to say, "It's OK to be you."

And more so now, since having a family - I don't seek out any other acceptance.

Everyone says I'm like the girl next door... Y'all must have really weird neighbors!

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

You don't know a thing about me
