“My faith is super important to me and it is who I am, but I don't ever want my faith to be used to judge me for other decisions that I've made or to have that questioned because that doesn't go over well with me.”

“I was just a girl from Alabama.”

“I have been in love with somebody in my past who lied to me, who cheated on me, and I tried to make it work. But I'm not that girl anymore, and that's been something I've been so proud of.”

“I live my life and make mistakes and sin every single day... but that's what grace is for.”

“I get recognized everywhere I go now, which is kind of overwhelming but really exciting and sweet.”

“I feel like a lot of people that have been in similar situations as I have, reality TV stars, you can make a packaged version of yourself if you want to - I just don't work that way. I can't do it.”

“Somebody has said something - or not just somebody, hundreds, thousands of people have something negative to say about me. I have learned that if I'm going to continue to do what I'm supposed to do and move forward, then I cannot let that faze me.”

“When I did dance, I never felt enough. It probably was where I got my biggest insecurities as a kid.”

“I will never take my experience for granted, because it's been a blessing.”

“I think, especially growing up in the South, we are taught that women are supposed to be soft, gentle and kind of just goes along with everything and is submissive.”

“This is what I hate about dating - when you just don't know where you stand. I'm pretty honest, I'll say, 'Hey I don't know what's going on,' but I don't like the game of it. Like, do we like each other? Great, well let's explore that.”

“Physical intimacy is emotionally binding. But there are lots of different sins.”

“I have the biggest sweet tooth of anybody.”

“You don't compete in something if that's not your goal, you should always want to succeed.”

“We've got to change the language of how women speak to women and how men speak to women and how we shame them for the decisions that we make.”

“I believe the foundation of love is based on honesty and truth.”

“I didn't aspire to be on 'The Bachelor.' I didn't watch the show. I thought it was for losers truly.”

“Everybody's relationship is different and we just need to support and encourage each other and make sure that we're making the right decisions for ourselves and what we're ready for in relationships.”

“Alabama will always be home and have a special place in my heart, but I want my life to be more than just living there. I want to see more of the world and, through that, find out more about myself.”

“I can handle more than I ever thought I could.”
