The people that live in my hometown do not walk along the street with smiles on their faces. It is a desperate place, but I got out.

I am a small-town girl.

I feel like, big city or small town, you can relate to following your parents' footsteps or putting your own dreams on the back burner or vices that we get caught up in - that whole cycle. That's not just a small-town thing. That's a life thing.

I lived the street life for a minute; I lost a lot of friends.

We know there's no use in getting miserable, so we go out on the town instead!

I come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da and normal.

I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'

Occasionally it's been a long and bumpy road - one I'm still travelling - but I've always felt like my home town has been solidly behind me and I'm both grateful and proud.

I've always lived in a city. I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

I'm not an easily depressed person.
