My music is about being strong, even in your vulnerability

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

I carry a weapon. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I don't want bodyguards. I am my own security.

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.’

Texas people are really strong in their roots. I started writing and playing guitar at 17. I've always loved music, and my dad is a singer-songwriter.

Currently I'm not a crazy ex-girlfriend, but I can't promise I won't be one again.

Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.
