I don't even have a type! I don't have a physical type. I have an emotional type.

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

I really want to be just a singer-songwriter. That's who I am.

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.

Normally, I'm so shy.

I'm a woman who wants her chocolate.

Life is definitely always about expanding. That's how we grow.

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.

People always say that pregnant women have a glow. And I say it's because you're sweating to death.

I'm never going to be a woman who doesn't work.

I'm big-busted... I can't always wear the cutest bras, and it makes me so mad.

I don't regret anything I've gone through.

Image is the most important thing about someone's career and longevity.

I really don't look at myself as just one thing. I'm kind of scattered and like to have my hands in a lot of different projects. It makes me who I am.

I love watching people's dreams come true.

To be a mentor for up-and-coming artists is right up my alley.

I've come to realize that the more I censor myself, the less people relate to me.

I have a huge rib cage, which is why I can hold a note out until I'm blue in the face... because I have such a big lung capacity.

To be honest, bread constipates me, and I like to have my daily bowel movement.

I think anything sounds good with a Southern accent.

I'm very old fashioned.

I'm not that kind of publicity, attention-grabber type of artist.

Through a huge duration of my life, someone has always picked up after me. And when you're on your own and you're trying to be independent, it's definitely different.

I have a lot of really good handlers.

I can't deprive myself of things because then I obsess about it and end up eating.

The great thing about Dallas is there's no paparazzi.

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

I feel like everybody's always out to get me, and that's a weird feeling.

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

I never knew how protective I was until I had my own child. I'm already thinking about intruders coming into the house and what our escape route would be.

I always wonder if what I'm wearing will be something that people would compliment, or want to wear. I don't ever get ready just for myself, ever.

I have so much respect for my mom and all the women across the world.

I love my curves.

I am the first person to go to Barnes & Noble and buy the new self-help book. I like to fill out the surveys, then I get my friends' opinions on how I answered to see if I was being honest with myself or not.

I collect lucky pennies that I find on the ground. I keep them in a Ziploc bag.

I love religion.

I'm spiritual.

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

I want to be a role model.

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

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

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

I'm such a blonde. It just doesn't make sense for me to have dark hair.

Twenty-three is old. It's almost 25, which is like almost mid-20s.

I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing, amazing things, and the international adoption rate just since her has skyrocketed. It's unbelievable.

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

I'm actually a good cook.

I am not a person who tries on in the stores. It drives me crazy. So I buy and take back if I don't like something. I really don't enjoy being in the dressing room. I rather just try it on in my house.

I have to go... drop some kids in the pool.

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.

I don't ever wanna come across too intimidating, so as long as I look like you can come up and give me a hug, that's good.

I think that having a public career is a bargain with the devil.

You're never going to look perfect to yourself even if you might look perfect to somebody else.

There's nothing worse than being disappointed in somebody.

A marriage doesn't have to be perfect, but you can be perfect for each other.

When you grow up in the music industry, trying to be Britney Spears because that's what sells records and then you realize, 'All I have to do is be myself? I should have thought of that a long time ago,' it feels good to have success come from what's actually inside of you.
Well I think any designer that can understand what people need to be wearing right now is the biggest and best step that you can take. Instead of putting your ego first, you put the buyer first. And I think that that's a really important thing just to know what the consumer is wanting to wear.
When it comes to other celebrity brands, I think a lot of people do a great job, but it can't be all about them. Everybody doesn't want to just look like the celebrity, because they can't. They just want one element of that style.
