In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is.

I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.

If they don't like you for being yourself, be yourself even more.

When I was 9 or 10, I used to get all the lead roles because I was the tallest person. But my interest in music soon drew me to country music. I was infatuated with the sound, with the storytelling. I could relate to it. I can't really tell you why. With me, it was just instinctual.

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it

What I've learned is not to change who you are, because eventually you're going to run out of new things to become.

When you see something bad happening out in the world, you should try to help in whatever way you can.
