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 would love to do a duet with Tim McGraw. I think that would be fun.

I have too much drive and determination to let anything falter me.

I do remember the people who believed in me in the beginning. I'll never forget that.

I have an amazing family. I was raised in a wonderful mid-west family.

I think I have a good head on my shoulders.

I think music changes and it evolves.

Hockey is my favorite because I'm from Michigan. I used to figure-skate and root for the Red Wings.

We are born to love, we live to love, and we will die to love still more.

If our mind is pure, our desires get manifested quickly.

There is always a plan B.
