I had bulimia for a few years. I was really sick. I don't know that person; I can't believe that was me.

I didn't realize when I first started writing how much it would set me free from certain situations in my life. It's incredible.

I write about what's on my mind. It's like a stress reliever.

I got to express myself in a whole new way as a different person on camera, in a different way as an actress, and I loved it.

I don't take myself too seriously, or I at least try not to, and I want to encourage other people to live that way because it's a much better way to go about your life.

There's just as much positivity as there is negativity, but for some reason, people focus on the negative things. And I used to be that person, but I'm not that person anymore.

I live country songs every single day of my life, so thank goodness I decided that was my passion!

My dad didn't know that I had an eating disorder. He had no idea, so that was weird. I was in an interview and just said it accidentally. I called my dad because I remember thinking, 'My dad does not know that,' and he was surprised. I think he understood, though.

I don't think I'm being forced to grow up too fast; I would rather people treat me like an adult.

When I started working all the time, I started eating the right food that will help me have my energy up and stay healthy.

It is a horrible feeling to have people bashing you online.

I think everyone needs to mind their own business.

As a little girl, I remember always wanting my grandmother to make blackberry cobbler for me. I'm obsessed with it.

No matter what decision I make, I want people to know that there's a reason I made it, and it's because it was something I felt like needed to happen. I don't want people to think that I've just gone crazy.

He might be my boyfriend. He might not be my boyfriend.

I hope I'm exactly what America is looking for, I don't know, I'm just going to be myself and hope that they love it. That's all I can do.

I hope each week I grow and impress you guys and make you happy.

My favorite type of music to sing is a crossover between country and pop.

My parents got divorced, and they both remarried other people.

There are so many people who have eating disorders or who body shame themselves every day or have some sort of insecurity, and I feel like I have a direct reach to some of those people.

To see your dad cry is like - It's different than to see your mom cry, you know?

I've been really fortunate with touring and sales and all those things because I have such a loyal fan base.

I love to go to school. My favourite subject is math, and I'm - actually, I just love high school more than anything, probably.
