Life's a climb. But the view is great.

I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee, to be exact - and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him!

Music is what I breath, what I love to do. It keeps me alive.

You know, I've made my money. If no one buys my album, cool. It's fine. I've got a house, and I've got dogs that I love. I don't need anything else.

I know what I’m doing. I know I’m shocking you.

I'd rather have people who are enthusiastic about what I'm doing than like, "Well, I thought we were going to a Miley Cyrus concert and now it's a strip show!"

I feel like I'm one of the biggest feminists in the world because I tell women not to be scared of anything.
