I love being from Wisconsin.

Weirdness is not my game. I'm just a square boy from Wisconsin.

If you're looking for can-do, earthy-crunchy attitude then you've got to go to Wisconsin.

People generally let me be me. People are aware that I'm not someone particularly begging for attention. They hold back a bit with me.

I just want to be a nice girl from the Midwest - I don't want to have to act like a heavy to be taken seriously, and I resent that I have to be so pushy and political sometimes just to do my job.

People are always asking me for pictures, signing autographs, everywhere I go. Before, it used to irritate me, but I've learned to handle the situation. I cannot run away unless I lock myself in my room and never go out.

Living in New York, you get a lot of confidence; when I go back to Michigan, I realise how obnoxious and demanding and straightforward I am.

Anybody that's got a problem with me is probably envious or wants to be me, and that's how I've always looked at it.

You can't beg from people what they're not willing to give you.
