Platinum is a lot of things: it's hair, it's diamonds and platinum

You have a career, and you start as a business person. And you work your way, you reach this peak, and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.

I think the unconditional love you get from an animal, especially a dog, is better than anything else.

I feel like if you turn on country radio, you will find something you'll love because it's so diverse.And that's a great thing.

I want to look my best, but I'm not a model. I'm not an actress. I'm representing normal girls. It's OK to have a little bit of curve. I'm happy with my body. So many girls come up to me and say, "Thank you for being normal," and I'm proud of that.

Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.

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.
