  • We all have something about ourselves that we'd change if we could in a perfect world, be it our body image, our financial status, our relationship, whatever. I wanted to talk about how nobody's exempted from the realities of life and all those things.

  • It's not okay to just make up false things about someone, especially in their personal life. Professionally, fine! Scrutinize me all you want. I know that I can't please everyone, but personally, let's just leave it alone. It's going too far.

  • My grandmother would sing in the choir, while my dad - while he was in college - sang and recorded with a quartet. So yeah, it was definitely my dad's Southern side that impacted on me musically.

  • I think the sophomore curse happens when you change every bit of yourself. Though my hair is blonde now, sonically it's still the same girl; conceptually it's still the same girl.

  • My mother - who's from Iowa - owns and runs her own day-care centre, while my father's a developer. And my musical influences, I think, came from my father's side of the family.

  • I'll be honest; I'm a student of fashion. I say that because I just wear what I feel. I'm not led by name brands and things like that.

  • I felt that with 'In A Perfect World' I was still kind of finding myself - not just as a musician, but also in love and in life.

  • I naturally have an athletic build, thick legs yet a lean upper body. I filled out much later than all my classmates, and I thank God for it now. I had to learn to fix what I can and accept what I cannot fix...That's probably the hardest thing.

  • We live in such a gullible world. Anything that's written, anything that's posted, anything picture that is interpreted one way is taken as truth.

  • Really, I'm the type of girl, and I know other girls who are the types of girls who it's not about the chain, it's not about the car, not about the house or this, that, and the other that you think are impressing me. It's really the intellect. It's really stimulating my mind.

  • Songwriting was always my 'plan B'. I didn't even know that songwriting was a job until my late teens!

  • I've learned to duplicate my beauty regimen from drug store products.

  • I'm 5'9''. So, my height's an issue. If I'm feeling sexy, I'll put on some heels-if that makes me a little taller than you, so be it. You have to be secure enough to stand next to a stallion. For a woman to feel her best, her man has to support her.

  • I felt that with In A Perfect World I was still kind of finding myself - not just as a musician, but also in love and in life.

  • Even at my biggest, I want to be writing for other artists. Even at my peak - the highest I can be as an artist - I always want to be keeping my creative juices flowing, keeping money in the bank, putting my intellectual property out there.

  • People may not tell you how they feel about you, but they always show you. Pay attention.

  • Dear heart, I promissed you i'd take it slow. Dear love, I know I swore on everything I own. But I can resist...it's just one kiss.

  • A lot of boys will let me down but a real man wouldn't do it like that.

  • Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down

  • My dad used to sing in a quartet. He loved everything: adult contemporary, anything smooth. He'd listen to the quartets.

  • My favorite drugstore product is Clean and Clear makeup removing cleanser. It gets the makeup off in one wash - not three or four.

  • I always feel compelled to lend my voice to things I strongly believe in.

  • I prefer men to boys. To clear it up, it's not about an older or younger thing. It's a mindset, not age. There are 18-year-old men out there and there are 40-year-old boys.

  • Even if you're walking through the airport or going to pick up your mail, if you meet a fan and they have a camera, they will take a picture of you and millions could potentially see that picture - if it's picked up by a blog or whatever.

  • I love the water; I love to swim.

  • There have been situations where the people you're around have one vision for you, and it's like trying on a jacket that doesn't fit.

  • To be honest with my music... for me to expect anyone to connect it has to come from a place of honesty.

  • To ensure that future generations have the opportunity to make a living from the creation of music, it is critical that we continue to build support behind this important initiative. Thousands of people have already voiced their opinion that it is time to vigorously defend the rights of music creators. Our goal now is to empower thousands more to carry this message forward.

  • We were never meant to be baby, we just happened
