A lot of times, I'm singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.

I'm all about small towns. I think it's a great place to grow up.

In the beginning, I wrote OK songs, but they didn't have a unique perspective.

Fame freaks me out. Do you just wake up different? I don't know how to scale it back if it gets too crazy.

I've found that there's a lot to invigorate in any country or destination - it's all about how you look at it. I've never really had any difficulties anywhere I've been. As an athlete, I used to enjoy being on the road and meeting people.

Everyone who's great - play any sport, tennis, basketball, football, volleyball, swimming, don't matter, everyone's failed. Everyone's gonna fail. It's how you bounce back.

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

When all you've done is work toward being a professional athlete, and then you injure yourself, and you know that you're going to be out for a while, it's gut-wrenching. It almost feels like your life is over because that's all you've ever worked for.
