I'm learning how to prevent my brain from getting worse than it is after suffering a career worth of concussions playing football.

The memory loss made me jittery at times.

You can't live in the past.

I've been bashed my whole career.

My father died when I was still in college, and it was sudden, and he was my beloved parent, and you just can't imagine what you life is going to be like.

For me, and this may not be everybody, but because I do love country music so much, there's such a feeling of home in Nashville, especially because it's such a small town. You bring up one song, everybody knows who wrote it, everybody knows their mother and what their cell number is, and all of the stories.

Being a fitness enthusiast, I try to stay away from overindulgence. I make sure my family eats healthy, too.

My family has always called me 'Lay Lay,' and my dad used to always call me 'Dynamite Termite' because I was really short and small and I hated to be still. I would never stop.
