I need honor in my life from somebody playing for keeps.

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

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.

I had some wonderful times in my 20s, but your 20s are hard.

I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.

As a singer and songwriter, I have great admiration for many of the budding stars who come to try their hand at performing and can relate to the hopes and aspirations of all the contestants, no matter how good or bad.

I never, ever in my heart want to hurt anyone.
