When I'm thinking about going on a date with some guy or considering liking him, it really doesn't matter what they do or how that affects my career.

I've apparently been the victim of growing up, which apparently happens to all of us at one point or another. It's been going on for quite some time now, without me knowing it. I've found that growing up can mean a lot of things. For me, it doesn't mean I should become somebody completely new and stop loving the things I used to love. It means I've just added more things to my list.

I don't think I'd be a party girl [even if I were] in college. When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did at a party that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom. But there are certain things that I would like to do but can't. Sometimes I don't get invited to things because my friends know it's going to be a hassle to take me.

My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.

your hands are tough but there mine belong in

I think Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks would be the coolest duet partners. I look up to them so much for their work ethics.

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can't date him. It can't even be considered.
