I ride horses once in a while, but I'm no expert. I hold on for dear life.
I'm a huge Kelly Clarkson fan. I think she's great.
I want to be playing music, and I want to be a great mom, and I want to do everything.
I don't think I set out to have a career in female groups, but it's just kind of happened, and by nature of having worked with my sister - growing up with a sister who also plays, and being in communication with other female musicians.
It is amazing what people feel they have the right to tell you to your face when you're famous.
