Being where I'm at, standing in these shoes, it feels amazing. It feels like a weight has been lifted.

I think I'm realizing I've always been able to move people, just getting people to talk.

I needed to become something besides the star everybody had built me up to be.

I am incredibly emotionally aware and connected with other people. You know, when you come see me live, you can see that different kind of connection and that connection with what I'm saying, and the things I'm singing about. So it really is about just keeping my eyes open.

No matter which way I move you, that's a powerful thing to be able to do.

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

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.
