I'm very excited. The 12-year-old me is kicking myself.
I'm all cried out, you should have seen me backstage before.
I feel like as a generation, we sell ourselves short. I just expected more from us.
I love Twitter! At first I made fun of it, because it is very narcissistic, and there's already so much narcissism flowing in this industry, I was like, 'Really, one more?' So I was against it at first. But I really love the idea of the direct connection - there's no middle man muddling it up.
Music isn’t just heard, it is felt.
No matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.
The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.'
Who are you wearing? Who are you wearing?
In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.
I've loved my 20s, but I would never repeat them.
I don't really exude that 'it' factor.
I may not be Einstein but I know dumb plus dumb equals you.
I was on Ghetto Idol. We didn't have any of the stuff they have now.
Never take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with.
