My dogs are about unconditional love. It's so wonderful to walk in the door from a long day and all they want to do is be loved and to give and give.

I should try to be strong, but baby, you're the right kind of wrong.

Hopefully people will grow with me, because I'm definitely not going to be stuck in one place all my life.

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.

I was 5 when I won my first song and dance competition, and my parents asked me if that is what I wanted to do, and I said, "Yeah." At 5, how can you know that? On some level, I knew that was my gift.

Janis Joplin is definitely one of my biggest influences. She taught me how to feel music, and I don't think there's anyone like her that could bring such pain and emotion to a song.

People are so quick to judge and make decisions for themselves about situations they know absolutely nothing about.
