By keeping her heart protected, she'll never ever feel rejected.

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.’

In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.

I don't obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it.

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."

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

I don't really exude that 'it' factor.
