I got my first handgun license when I was 22.

I was a big shiny, glittery-type person. Now I'm a jeans and T-shirt girl, or I'll wear sun dresses and cowboy boots in the summer. But at first I had to have stylists tell me, 'That's ugly.'

My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'

I'm an outdoors girl - I like to go fishing, riding four-wheelers, hunting.

My mom always says I cut my teeth on the church pew.

I think I find new idols every day - someone that says something really inspiring, is successful, has character.
