I'm an outdoors girl - I like to go fishing, riding four-wheelers, hunting.

I don’t care about being stick-thin. I don’t want stuff to jiggle. Really skinny actresses make me hungry — I see them and think 'Honey, you need to eat!' I’m lucky I don’t have to live like that. I feel my best when I’m a toned, not flabby, size 8. Women come up to me and say, ‘You’re beautiful and confident, and that makes me feel I can be, too.’

I don't really do acting. I've done a little bit - enough to know I'll stick to what I know. Music is my thing.

You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can. I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.

I definitely still have ... angst but I also wrote some songs that say it's okay to love, now. I'm happy in my life, and it's a bit easier to write happy songs when you are actually happy.

A lot of people tell me, once they get to know me, that they're surprised that I'm nothing like they think I'll be.

Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.
