When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried. I was close to having diabetes.

So, I gained a little...weight, ... Big deal. Clean and sober.

Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job.

I am the baby in the family, and I always will be. I am actually very happy to have that position. But I still get teased. I don't mind that.

I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.

By age seven, I used to comb my hair for performances, just pull my hair up into a bun. Granted, it wasn't a very intricate hairstyle. Still, to be that responsible and disciplined at age seven is unusual.
