Jenny: (on her most embarrassing moment on tour) So we were in Florida, I think Orlando, and I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup and these two girls walked in and they didn't see me and they're all, ‘Can you believe how big her boobs are?’ And I'm standing there like putting on my lipstick, and I look over, and we saw each other and the girl just turned bright red. I think she was more embarrassed than I. ‘And uh, I was like, ‘Are you talking about me?" And she's all, ‘Oh! No! No no! Not at all,’ totally lying, but it was pretty embarrassing. But sweet.

Jenny: (on how being a child actor prepared her for being a rocker) It was so long ago, and I think I learned a lot about working with other people. I'm probably the biggest ball-buster in the band as far as practice schedule goes and I think I learned that from working ten hour days, supporting the family and stuff.

Jenny: I didn't intend to write a bunch of songs about God. I was surprised when I had all of the songs completed and there were so many God references throughout. I guess that's what happens when you're about to turn 30... I think being broken-hearted is not the only thing you want to sing about.
