I actually only went to high school for six weeks. I lost sleep deciding on what I would wear the next day or who I had to impress. I was just a much more down-to-earth, relaxed person once I decided not to care what people thought of me.

They did an awesome job, ... Some of the lyrics, I just couldn't believe it. Some of the lyrics have lines that are right from my diary.

I am so excited about working with Jesse, ... I haven't met him yet, but I hear he is a really nice guy and it will be my pleasure to work with him on this tour which will bring us to New Orleans on August 9.

I grew up listening to Patsy Klein, Reba Mcentire and would study their voices. But once I became bored with that, I moved on to more contemporary stuff like Sheryl Crow and I combined everything that I had learned from country and rock and made this CD.

My parents were in the studio when we cut 'Let Me Try' and every time I sang it they started crying, ... I finally had to ask them to leave because I couldn't sing it while they were crying.

I just couldn't sing them because I couldn't relate, ... I knew that I could be performing these songs for years and years and I didn't want to sing something I couldn't relate to.
