The thing about Christmas is that it almost doesn't matter what mood you're in or what kind of a year you've had; it's a fresh start.

The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.'

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

Never take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with.

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.’

Everything changes, but beauty remains.

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!
