There are certain things that make me relax, like writing my journal. That's the only time that I'm relaxing. It's the only time I really get to examine myself.

It's important to fall in love with someone you don't want to change.

I'm actually a good cook.

It really is about the heart of a woman that makes her beautiful.

I'm very old fashioned.

I think that freshness and that innocence is something that is missing from a lot of female singers. I'm certainly not denying that I'm young, but I'm not fluff.

You change with the guys you date.

When I signed a record deal, I was always told by execs I needed to be like everybody else, that I had to show my midriff, things that would take away from who I want to be as an artist.

I love watching people's dreams come true.

My style icon really for my whole life has been my mother.

Well, for me, I grew up very Southern Baptist, and I definitely lived in my bubble. You know, I lived in my bubble that was in my church.

I love that I can dream about paisley, and then two months later, someone's wearing it. I'm basically styling America.

There's tons of little tricks that that go into making the perfect shoe, but I think color, comfort is really important and different sizes of heels.

Am I eating chicken or tuna?

There's nothing worse than being disappointed in somebody.

Weight Watchers is not intimidating. It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle.

I'm see-through. And I'm the worst liar of all time.

I don't want to look like Daisy Duke every day. I don't want to wear a bathing suit every day.

The point of launching a maternity line, for me, was to do something different.

I definitely don't Google my name.

I think there's a difference between ditzy and dumb. Dumb is just not knowing. Ditzy is having the courage to ask!

I don't ever really feel that wearing my wedding ring is what determines me being married or not.

Both of my grandmothers were diagnosed with breast cancer - one is a survivor and one passed away.

I have a lot of really good handlers.

I want to do the romantic comedies. You know, the stuff that Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon would choose, of course.

I try not to read blogs. The comments are extremely harsh.

At 16, every boyfriend I had I was going to marry.

I hate record labels. They think they know everything. I want to hear them try to sing it.

I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren't an entertainer.

At school my boobs were bigger than all my friends' and I was afraid to show them. Now, I feel they make my outfits look better. They're like an accessory.

I would love for the time to come where somebody can talk about me and not have to talk about Britney and Christina in the same sentence.
