I've figured out over the years, you can only hurt me if I love you; if I don't know you, I really don't care.

I'm a drag artist, and we put so much effort into creating characters, so the easiest way to show us respect is to call us by the name we gave ourselves and refer to the gender we have chosen to be on stage.

Being LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) in Russia is anything but fun.

I see myself as quite boring and simple.

As I always say, you don't have to love me, but you have to respect that I'm here.

I dream of a world where we don't have to talk about unnecessary things like sexuality, who you love.

I do love to have pictures taken and to pose and wear fabulous gowns, so red carpets are a comfort zone.

I am so happy to be able to do what I love. To have the songs I've written for other artists go No. 1 and my songs go to No. 1 has been amazing.

I want people to know that I'm not just 'Chillin' It.' I'm a real person. There's heartbreak and trials, and I hope I put that in my music.

Life ain't about just 'Chillin' It.' I've learned that.

You play shows all over the country and hope that radio gets a chance to get out to see you, but that doesn't always happen like that.

I want people to know that I am having fun. That's the biggest compliment I can get is when people tell me I'm having a blast out there - if they only knew. I'm having the time of my life every night.

When I'm getting a chance to do my job or make somebody's day, and be on stage where I love, and see all the fans having fun, you can't help but smile.

I want people to know that I appreciate every piece of music they buy and every concert ticket because that's what keeps this going. Knowing that people are coming to the shows and enjoying my music makes every long day worth it.

All I've ever wanted is a nice truck, and that's what I got.

I've always been a huge Eric Church fan. I'll never forget being in college listening to his first album and how much it inspired to write my own music.

I wrote 'Flatliner' with Dierks Bentley in mind in 2013.

When something hits you, you better go with it.

All I ever wanted to do was write songs, and I just dreamed of putting out an album and having a single that maybe did alright.

Being a big Braves fan, Turner Field would be cool to play a show at.

Georgia Southern was such a big part of me getting my start.

I graduated with about 23 people, so if you were the least bit athletic, you kind of had to play everything. So I played baseball, basketball, football, ran track, and played golf.

I went to a small high school in - down in south Georgia. Terrell Academy is the name of it.

I wanted to get better at writing, so I knew I needed to move to Nashville.
