“People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I’m blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun.”

The fact that I get to do what I love and 14 years in, I’m still doing it – I don’t know how anything could get better.

I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I’m craving, I go for it. I’m never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I’m just being.

Everybody always says that I’m the girl next door, which makes me think that y’all must have a lot of weird next-door neighbours.

I was on Ghetto Idol. We didn’t have any of the stuff they have now.

I go to bed every night and the list of what I’ve accomplished is astounding.

Pick the weeds and keep the flowers.

There is no greater feeling than hanging out with my dogs, or just walking around the land with our horses. My rescue ranch is is where I feel the most at peace and where I’m reminded of the simple things in life and let the chaos of my crazy work life fade away.

My winning is getting to perform. That’s my victory.

I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you’re both musicians.

I’ve always been about less government.

No matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.

I feel like you can be the best role model by being yourself.

You need to be happy with who you are and, whoever that is, let your little light shine.

I was in a very dark place for a long time. It’s just so hard to have normalcy.

Music isn’t just heard, it is felt.

I’m from a small town where everybody always has something to say – you shouldn’t sing secular music, you shouldn’t do this or do that. A ton of “shouldn’ts.”
