My dream duet would be with Dolly Parton!
I'm really not good at anything else, so if I don't make it as a musician, I'll probably just end up living in the woods with a bunch of dogs.
I'm obsessed with trash TV. I love horrible TV. shows. It's the white trash in me, you know?
I'm a really good friend; I'm terrible to date.
I was born out of a Vegas marriage: My parents got married three days after they met.
I used to be afraid to use the word 'pop' to describe my music, but underneath my tough, bad-girl sound, there's some fun.
I think the best music is honest music.
I started with the guitar around 12 years old but didn't learn the banjo until I was about 18 or 19.
I love to sing big rock and roll songs; I love to sing country-pop stuff, and then I love to sing soft, sadder beautiful songs.
I have perfected the art of the mean song to make me feel like I have a backbone.
I have a really supportive, great group of friends, and we all push each other. They come to my shows, I go to their premieres; it's wonderful.
I flip the turntables. I write a lot from the male perspective, but as a female. That's how I live my life. I can roll with the boys.
As for relationships, I know nothing. I'm an idiot; I can't get it right.
I grew up barefoot, dirty, climbing trees. It made me appreciate things more.
