I have too much drive and determination to let anything falter me.
I have an amazing family. I was raised in a wonderful mid-west family.
I have too much drive and determination to let anything falter me. Because I know that life's short and there's so much that I wanna do, and I can't do anything that might hold me back or get stuck in.
I think I have a good head on my shoulders.
In Los Angeles there's, like, this awful image because the girls are so skinny. I don't think it's attractive whatsoever, and I also think that it gives a bad image to kids that are in their early teens. It's not healthy.
I think music changes and it evolves.
I'll never sing something that I've never been through. So even if I didn't write it, I have to have at least experienced it.
I do remember the people who believed in me in the beginning. I'll never forget that.
Hockey is my favorite because I'm from Michigan. I used to figure-skate and root for the Red Wings.
I was a bit scared because I came from the acting world. There was a fear that people would think of me kind of as a joke. But really, people think of me as a country artist who can act. That's my favorite compliment.
L.A. was never me. Nashville is my home.
I never want to be too mean with my songs, but with I Hope It Rains it was definitely somewhere in the middle with being sassy but also a little class in there as well. It was a good blend for me and who I want to be perceived as an artist.
I'm from Michigan, but I'm just as country as anyone else. Maybe I don't have the speaking voice of most country singers, but it is what I love. It's how I've always sung, and it's what I grew up on.
I'm from Michigan and a down-home girl.
It's honestly every time that I'm doing something, and every time I visit a station and hear my song on the radio and people buying my stuff, I'm like 'Are you kidding me? This is insane!'
I love music, that it changes so much, but I also want to keep a bit of the country roots to make it country. I don't want to go too far away from it, or I would do pop music.
I would love to do a duet with Tim McGraw. I think that would be fun.
People were always asking me who I wanted to tour with, and I always said Jason Aldean or Brad Paisley.
I love sports. So if I was like a sports anchor or something like that. I would love to do that.
