I was such a geek in school.
I do feel as if I'm living a blessed life at the moment. I've been thinking about the phrase 'living a dream,' because that's exactly what is happening. I'm just trying to go with the flow and take each day as it comes, otherwise I might freak out at all the things that have happened recently.
My mother and father were perfect role models. They were together for 25 years and very much in love. But I've got too much to do now. I'm only 27.

People see you sing in a certain way, in a long dress, and you are put on a pedestal like you have never made a mistake in your life.
With 'Believe' bringing really big success for me outside of the U. K. for the first time, it meant I have been touring around the world and that led to a gap from the studio.

The economic illusion is the belief that social justice is bad for economic growth.
'Need You Now' is a universal subject matter. It's something that not just country fans, not just pop fans - everybody's been there. And the production was a little left of center.
If you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips.
