I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl - I'm not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds - and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.
Oh, there's all these rumors that I'm a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel's son, Reba McEntire's stepson.
No matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.
I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. It's what I wanted to do, so we went.
Even though I'm a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.
My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more. I'll be different sizes all the time.
When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't.'
I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.
I live on a ranch in Texas and do my own thing. And I don't care what anyone has to say about it. My joke is that the only people I'm trying to please are myself and my fans, because they're the ones buying my records. And I have the best, most loyal fan base ever.
I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids - because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.
When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.
I sound the same regardless if I'm 20 pounds heavier or 20 pounds light, and I think that's the key thing with my fans and why they continue to be loyal because I'm that type of person.
Honestly, I just think we all have special gifts, everyone. You know, obviously, some are more noticeable than others and that's why there's the limelight. Everybody's in it.
I've always been about less government.
I'm the perfect amount of guarded. I don't reveal too much, and I never reveal who the songs are about. They are real life. People get that. I date a lot of musicians and they do the same thing. People that work with me - who I write about too - they get it. It's my creative outlet, my therapy.
Even though I hate acting, I love doing videos for my songs.
I've loved my 20s, but I would never repeat them.
I still watch 'Idol,' and it's still the No. 1 show, so obviously I'm not the only one who loves to sit at home and be entertained.
I don't really exude that 'it' factor.
I'm loyal and I think most Texans are very loyal, but I'm also stubborn.
