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.

I refuse to discuss tabloid rumors.

You can't break what's broken already.

I never really had any friends my age. I've grown up in the adult world all my life.

Every day of my life is going out in public and seeing people's lives and listening to stories - all that kind of stuff musically inspires me.

I don't care if I'm in too deep.

I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.
