I had lots of breaks.
I think it’s the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I’m not ashamed of that by any means.
For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.
You don’t waste your entire life waiting to go back to dust.
But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It’s like listening to a song – I mean, a story. If you’re going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don’t want to make them up.
You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.
Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.
Before you, my life was like a moonless night, but there were stars-points of light and reason. Then you flew across my sky, and there was light. When you were gone, when the meteor had flown over the horizon, nothing had changed, but my eyes had been blinded by the light. I couldnt see the light anymore, and there ceased to be a reason for anything.
I’ve been very lucky so far. I haven’t had any bad experiences as far as fan encounters. They don’t really recognize me. I think it has to do with my hair. I change it all the time. I like changing my hair color and sometimes it’s just not for a role. Usually, I just do it for me.

Everything I do stems from something personal, not just because it will look good on paper or be a tax write-off.
I’m a woman now.
Politics and prostitution have to be the only jobs where inexperience is considered a virtue. In what other profession would you brag about not knowing stuff? I’m not one of those fancy Harvard heart surgeons. I’m just an unlicensed plumber with a dream and I’d like to cut your chest open. The crowd cheers.
So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that’s why I’m so happy to be back!
I hear the sound of time roaring past me, …And there is no time to lose.
No, I don’t talk to Carly – that’s sort of the point about divorce.
The show doesn’t go on because it’s ready; it goes on because it’s 11:30.
If you want to be a screenwriter, take an acting class to get a sense of what you’re asking actors to do. Learning other skills will help you communicate with people and respect what they do.
I’ve seen the photos of me and Flo Rida. It doesn’t matter how we met. We met. I don’t want to say that we’re a couple. I can definitely say that he’s somebody in my life, and I’m definitely interested but I’m not serious with anybody.
