“I’m always going to be a singer.”

My experiences remind me that it’s those black clouds that make the blue skies even more beautiful.

I feel like as a generation, we sell ourselves short. I just expected more from us.

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.

Anyone that has a job that takes them away from home, I think, can understand the difficulties in maintaining consistency, not only with your family and those you love but with your friends.

We have a job to do. After the fight, I’ll love him.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

I love what I do, and I take projects as they come.

I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I’m the right man for the job… I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.

I think Joshua has been doing a good job winning his fights and beating the guys in front of him. You got to congratulate him for his success.

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you’re entertaining people.

I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, ‘I think I should get a job.’ She said, ‘No, just keep boxing.’
