I live to love and laugh a lot and that's all I need

I don't really drink before a show. That's my only drinking rule. Especially with today's cell-phone cameras, there's no win to it.

Being famous is uncomfortable because I grew up very simply. Everything revolved around friends, family, church and sports.

I don't think I ever feel sexy. I don't think that's for me to decide, if I'm sexy or not.

An important mentor for me, in terms of teaching me that there's a right way and a wrong way to do things, was probably my football coach. And playing football was one of the first times in my life that I realized nothing is given to you. You have to work really hard.

I learned from my mom that you should always try to enjoy life, no matter what.

I hate album covers where people are just smiling so big. It's like a neon sign that says PLEASE COME BUY ME.
