What people don’t understand is that it wasn’t about Dean or Eddie, it was about whether or not I was in the right place.

I signed my deal when I was 11, and the success I had, no one could explain that to an adult, what's about to happen to them, much less a kid. There's not many people around who've experienced that.

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

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.

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.

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.

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