When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't.

Honestly, I just think we all have special gifts, everyone. You know, obviously, some are more noticeable than others and that's why there's the limelight. Everybody's in it.

I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.

I'm loyal and I think most Texans are very loyal, but I'm also stubborn.

Books have always been important to me - my mom was a first grade teacher, so I grew up reading all the time.

I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl - I'm not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds - and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.

No matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.
