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

My kids are obviously growing up very privileged, but I want them to have a servant's heart. We do community service as a family, and I also call them out on things like getting impatient when they stand in line - because they hardly ever have to. But that's just the reality of what they were born into.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly. I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.

You should know that I lead, not follow

Really, what I try to instill in my fans is to be healthy and happy. I have no desire to be super-skinny.

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'm so happy now. I love that I'm in a relationship right now... I want a life... The past five years or so I've found my groove and my balance.
