When I went to Los Angeles right after high school, I got some acting jobs, and I never, ever wanted to be an actress! Public speaking and acting make me want to vomit. But I have never been nervous singing. When it comes to public speaking, I stumble on my words, sweat, and pull at my clothes.
I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you’re both musicians.
I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I’m craving, I go for it. I’m never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I’m just being.
Who are you wearing? Who are you wearing?
Even though I hate acting, I love doing videos for my songs.
Even though I’m a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.
I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don’t like free weights, because I build muscle easily.
I don’t really exude that ‘it’ factor.
I love my body. I’m very much OK with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.
I love dressing up and doing the red carpet every once in a while, but I am very much a jeans kinda girl, so it’s all a little embarrassing for me.
I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. It’s what I wanted to do, so we went.
I’m a hygiene freak. I’m like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands.
I just blow-dry my hair and put on mascara and lip gloss, and I’m ready to go. I really don’t get long nails. They’re so Edward Scissorhands.
I never said I was a ‘good girl.’ I’m not a bad girl.
I’m loyal and I think most Texans are very loyal, but I’m also stubborn.
I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I’m basically the same person I was when I won ‘Idol,’ or when I was 10.
I’m always going to live in Texas. Texas is my home – it’ll be my home forever.
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.
People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I’m blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun.
I still watch ‘Idol,’ and it’s still the No. 1 show, so obviously I’m not the only one who loves to sit at home and be entertained.
