I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean.

I'm a smart girl. There are decisions that I make for reasons, and the most important thing is that my son is happy and he always will be. He's surrounded by love.

We take food for granted, but it isn't a luxury for many people.

It's definitely a dream come true to be recognized and to be able to sign autographs. But, it's also a lot of hard work and can be draining. If you don't know already, you will quickly learn who your real friends are.

My son is healthy and happy, so that's all that matters to me.

I was very pushed to look a certain way and act a certain way, and it wasn't me, but I played by their rules to get my foot in the door.

I'm very protective of how much I let people see.

I like to be as free as possible at all times.

I'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.

When I'm traveling on tour, one of my favorite things to do is to throw a baseball cap on and go to a Target. The company has always been good to me. They've got such a great creative team.

I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures.

I've always been really good with my heels. Even pregnant, I could perform in heels.

All I want to do is be normal. But really, it's other people who won't let me be that way.

I love my body.

I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing.

I didn't want to do something that was easy for me.

I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home.

I have a lot of aggression in me that needs to come out in a not-very-precise or articulate way.

I was never into the boy crazy thing because I was very focused on my career.
