I'm from Clearwater, Florida, and I love Nashville so much I don't even really miss the beach.
Don't judge my dad on the one thing he did wrong and not on all the things he did right. For such a long time, he was such a huge role model for kids and such a positive thing. That's the one thing about this business is you get tormented for the one thing that is negative versus all the great things you have done.
With a certain amount of time, people can't be crucified for what they've done wrong. It's what I always tell people.
I'm straightlaced, don't do drugs, stick to my regimen.
I don't know what my mom feels toward me or where the viciousness is coming from, but I just know that when I have kids, I will protect them. I would do anything for my kids and for my family. I know that.
I fell in love with Nashville and wrote with some of the best songwriters here.
