I know you can't go back, so I try to do all the things other teenagers do.

I've never heard a song written from a stepmother's point of view, about their family.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky, there would be no love in my life, there'd be no world left of me.

When I first came out with Blue, everyone compared me to Patsy Cline, which is the biggest honor, 'cause I've always looked up to her.

Even listening to a lot of other music inspires me, too. Like I'll find something and be like, "I love this group!" And I want to write something that's kind of like this.

Im Southern, so alligator tail is pretty interesting and yummy.

I went through that stage every teenager goes through: Who am I? What am I? Where do I fit in? In my case I had to deal with newspapers saying I looked fat or tired or my hair was a mess. People always criticize: they either love you, or they don't. But you have to block that out and concentrate on the work. And I feel I am doing good work, and I'm finally getting to see who I really am.
