If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don't stop, don't put it down.

I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel okay about myself. And I wanted to show my fans the same thing.

I really like my life right now. I have friends around me all the time. I’ve started painting more. I’ve been working out a lot. I’ve started to really take pride in being strong. I love the album I made. I love that I moved to New York. So in terms of being happy, I’ve never been closer to that.

Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity.

I didn't have friends. No one talked to me. I used to go to the Wyndcroft School (nationally recognized for academic excellence) in Pottstown, and when I moved to Wyomissing, I didn't know anybody.

I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate.

I love being a part of the country-music community.
