I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.
I don't care what people say about my relationship I don't care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music.
Yeah I've been interested in music since I was a teenager always writing songs.
It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most.
I think I first realized I wanted to be in country music and be an artist when I was 10. And I started dragging my parents to festivals and fairs and karaoke contests and I did that for about a year before I came to Nashville for the first time. I was 11 and I had this demo CD of me singing Dixie Chicks and Leanne Rimes songs.
I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do as I'm writing a movie is go through all those songs trying to find good songs for fights or good pieces of music to layer into the film.
Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock 'n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So there's always a new generation with new music.
You know all my songs are relatives brothers sisters cousins.
My music my songs are 100 percent inspired by girl power.
I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.
