I'm kind of married to my music right now, focusing on writing an album. As far as boys go, I don't need 'em. I want a man … Somebody who's a really great family guy.

Like if a kid were to come up to him and tug on his shirt, he'd pick him up and twirl him around. I definitely love a family man, a guy that's not afraid to pick up the babies. … Somebody that wants to meet my grandparents immediately. I think all those characteristics are what make a man attractive.

I think mentally, I need a guy that can really have a strong, confident woman. [But] if he has a cute butt, that's alright.
