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

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

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.

I have my views and obviously my music has connotations that lean toward what I believe, but I've learned through other artists' mistakes that I'm never going to use my career as a platform for politics, especially at shows. People come to hear music. It's my job to entertain them, and it's my escape too.

I really think that being yourself, being original, being outside the box is starting to be appealing to people.

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.

Really skinny actresses make me hungry. I see them and think, 'Honey, you need to eat!'
