I don't love traveling, because I'm never home. It's hard when you have a family.

I'm actually not a big fan of the word hope. I think it's a depressing word. I don't want to hope - I want to know. Like I don't hope there's a God, I know there's a God.

I never said I was a 'good girl.' I'm not a bad girl. I'm just normal, and that's what I'm going to be. There's no bad girl with whips and chains that's going to come out. I think people like me because I was myself.

The fact that I've managed to find a husband who understands and respects everything I do is astonishing.

My winning is getting to perform. That's my victory.

Even though I'm a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.

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.
