I stood in front of Sony (Music headquarters) out here, I stood right in front of the building with a jam box and a tape player, singing my heart out,
Even though I hate acting, I love doing videos for my songs.
Oh, there's all these rumors that I'm a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel's son, Reba McEntire's stepson.
I've got a song on One Direction's album called 'Tell Me A Lie'. It's a really cute song - I love it. I loved that they liked it. They sound really great on it. I already have it - I'm so VIP with my copy on my computer! It does sound really good.
You don't know a thing about me
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands, And I don't know how, I'd survive without your kiss, 'cause you've given me a reason to exist
I'm the perfect amount of guarded. I don't reveal too much, and I never reveal who the songs are about. They are real life. People get that. I date a lot of musicians and they do the same thing. People that work with me - who I write about too - they get it. It's my creative outlet, my therapy.
When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.
I know a lot of artists say, `If you want your song on my record, I get 50 per cent' I'd like to kick them in the face.
I sing songs that I have lived or I write them because I have lived them. I think the believability factor is key.
They always talk about the big first thing that you did. I think the only thing that I do mind is I don't want people to only focus on that.
The whole thing is insane, ... Kelly loves Hilary. Hopefully we can all just get along.
The video's kinda sad ... but it's a sad song, so the video obviously has to follow that. But it ends really happy and everything and the family, my family, ends up breaking the cycle of my parents.
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me.
