Yeah, I try to be the best example I can be for young girls just as far as my person goes - just to uphold a good image.
You have a career, and you start as a business person. And you work your way, you reach this peak, and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.
My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'
People naturally change a lot during their 20s, so my songs reflect that progression.
Yeah, my dad bought me a guitar when I was like 10, and I didn't really want it then.
I've dated all kinds of guys and didn't know who I'd end up with. But I kind of assumed it would be someone more like my dad than not.
I hope my music sets up the platform for me to be able to do lots of things - to have a cowboy-boot line, maybe, or do a perfume or makeup deal.
