Quotes
I would like to be like Britney, but maybe better, but I don't wanna outshine her.
I'll probably do a lot of acting first, then go to singing, but I am going to definitely sing someday. So when I do start singing, buy my album! - upon starting her career in show business
I'm more honest in my lyrics than I am in anything else. It's where I feel the most safe to express myself. I write about growing up, my family, Maddie and getting pregnant. If I've lived it, why wouldn't I talk about it? I guess that's been the coolest thing-realizing that it's OK to just be myself and really tell my story.
[On why Britney chose to sing pop music and Jamie chose country] Every person in this world has a different outlet for them where they release their creative energies or whatever energies they need to release. It's just the way she chose to release hers and this is how I chose to release mine.
