I grew up in trailer houses in New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
I grew up very modest, and I never forget that.
I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?
I do everything in the third person. Performance is about being someone else.
I've had my heart broken and then gone out and done dumb things.

Sometimes, you can't seem to find any song on the radio that you like.
It's a big challenge for me to keep my integrity and some of my privacy intact.

I was an Elvis freak. That's all I listened to growing up.

It's very hard to be honest with yourself when something's just not working.
I certainly could've gone off track many, many times in my youth.
