I have my own autograph pads.

I was just a girl from Alabama.

I'm glad if I can help anybody.

I live my life by certain standards.

The rumba is the dance of love and lust.

I have the biggest sweet tooth of anybody.

My most prized possession is my coffeemaker!

I do love country music. And a real musician.

A piece of my heart will aways be in Alabama.

Life is crazy, but I'm really, really blessed.

My natural reaction is to smile through things.

It's been sickening how much money I've passed up.

I am basically a walking McDonald's chicken nugget.

I'm not an actress, I'm a girl who was on reality TV.

God bless the United States of America, and Roll Tide.

I want a manly man who's not afraid to get down and dirty.

The basis of Christianity is loving people and not judgment.

Even when times are tough, I learned to hide behind a smile.

I will never pretend like I did not come from Bachelor Nation.

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

I never would have thought that I would be dancing at Radio City.

I can't pretend that I'm happy or pretend to get emotional when I'm not.

Being a pageant girl taught me to be polished, poised and slap on a smile.

I don't really know any other way than to be vulnerable or just be myself.

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

I came into 'The Bachelor' not ready to be me, and I ended up embracing me.

My mom's really into Christmas ornaments and our tree's lavish and beautiful.

I think pageant girls just have a way of faking it until you make it, almost.

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

I want to keep my options open and make sure I'm doing the best thing for Hannah.

Just because I work out and eat healthy doesn't mean I don't let myself have fun.

Sometimes, yeah, I wish I would have protected my heart a little more, absolutely.

I set my alarm for 7:30 A.M., but it's really hard for me to wake up in the mornings.

My journey on 'The Bachelor' was interesting. I definitely grew but had ups and downs.

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

I don't know how to date other than on a TV show with 30 guys at one time. I really don't.

I am unfortunately a perfectionist at heart, so it's really hard to allow myself to not be good.

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

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

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

Even with the heartbreak that I've had, I've felt a lot of love, and I've been given a lot of love too.

Going from 'The Bachelorette' to being on 'Dancing with the Stars,' I'm having to work through some things.

You know what southern women are? Whiskey in a teacup. We're strong in the inside, but ornate on the outside.

I'm getting to use my platform as the Bachelorette - on my season - to really make change through my experience.

I feel like I learned that I am so much stronger than I ever thought I was, not just emotionally, but physically.

I was terrified to be my true self because I felt that it wasn't enough. But I allowed myself to break down those walls.

I'm probably not going to shed all the pageant girl, because that's who I am. If you don't like it, that's too damn bad.

The desire of my heart is to be loved so fearlessly by somebody. I will not allow myself not to feel chosen every single day.

Ballroom dancing is so articulate. Your hips have to be a certain way, legs have to be straight at one time and bent another.

At first, being on the 'Bachelor' and seeing critical comments of myself, it would crush me, but now it's like a daily thing.
