1. “Everyone says I’m like the girl next door… Y’all must have really weird neighbors!“
2. “Like every other girl, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!”
3. “God will never give you anything you can’t handle. So, don’t stress.”
4. “I’m actually not a big fan of the word hope. I think it’s a depressing word. I don’t want to hope – I want to know. Like I don’t hope there’s a God, I know there’s a God.“
5. “My winning is getting to perform. That’s my victory.”
6. “No matter what size I am, I love performing. No matter how big or little I am, I feel good!”
7. “I never said I was a ‘good girl’. I’m just not a bad girl.”
8. “When people talk about my weight, I’m like ‘you seem to have a problem with it; I don’t’.”
9. “I sing songs that I have lived, or I write them because I have lived them. I think the believability factor is key.”
10. “I’ve loved my 20s but I would never repeat them.”
