I've never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

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

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.

I'm a hygiene freak. I'm like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands.

My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more. I'll be different sizes all the time.
