I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.
When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.
I think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.
I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.
I don't actually have a lot of discipline. I've worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.
You would never catch me in a miniskirt.
I'm not planning to jump off a bridge with no bungee.
I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.
I'm not trying to conquer Hollywood. I love my day job.
I like to be in control of things.
Without a piano I don't know how to stand, don't know what to do with my hands.
Anyone can look pretty with hair and make-up.
I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.
I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.
