Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.

The bigger you get, the more pressure you have to deal with.

I did surveillance a lot, which sounds exciting, but it never was.

Music was the first thing I did where I was naturally talented.

I think being a Texan - we sort of have that extra fire in us as a breed. I just felt like from day one I had something to say and I wanted to make sure people heard me, and it's worked.

For each album, I let the music that I love at that point in my life be my guide.

My weight always fluctuates by 10 pounds. After trying Atkins and doing Nutrisystem a few times, now I’m just focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting.
