You should know that I lead, not follow

I’m from a small town so, like, everyone’s married with children or about to have children. So it’s a little hard when you go home and people are like - and that’s why people think I’m gay - because they’re like ‘Why aren’t you married?’ And I’m like, ‘it doesn’t happen for everyone right off the bat.’

I was in a very dark place for a long time. It's just so hard to have normalcy.

When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.

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

I try not to date musicians. It's all I've dated. Every guy I've dated is a musician. Obviously, it's not working.

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.
