I would say I'm a nice person, and I take pride in the fact that I treat everyone really well, so there's no reason for anyone to ever come at me because I only want the best for everybody else.

I come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da and normal.

My mom started understanding how many people take advantage of a child, so she hired smart people to protect me in that way. I'm happy that when I was younger, people protected me and put me in a position where I can now control my music.

My 13-year-old self would have beaten up my 17-year-old self because she would be like, 'You're a sellout!'

I always have two bracelets on my right arm. One is a purple and white bracelet from a fan. I love it! I also wear a bracelet from a waterpark- I've had it on for two or three years. My mom says it's pretty nasty, actually. But you'll never see me without them ever! In magazine photos, the bracelets are sometimes airbrushed out, but viewers will always see me wearing them during scenes.

The greatest opportunities in life come with fear and risk.

I think at some point during everyone's life, you finally figure yourself out. I haven't even done that yet. I'm still learning who I am.
