As for how she came up with the name of her album, Simpson reveals, “I decided to call the record Bittersweet World….With the good comes the bad…Sometimes it’s a little bitter at the beginning and you hope it ends up sweet. It was a play on words.”
Simpson believes that her much-publicized lip synching performance three years ago on Saturday Night Live has only made her stronger exclaiming, “I'd love to do Saturday Night Live again! I feel like last time I went back I conquered it.”
Simpson has little to complain about admitting, “I have great friends, great family, great boyfriend, great career and great fans." She continues, “I do have a great family. I have a great mother who I look up to…I do have people that I can lean on and they can get my through it [hard times].”
Recently, the Simpson sisters were on a double date with boyfriends Pete Wentz and Tony Romo.
Through the years, the two have remained close, Simpson says, “We support whoever each other dates. Anything that makes her happy makes me happy.”
When asked about Simpson’s secret to staying in shape, she responds, “I’m a very active person. I’m always doing something. That’s really how I stay in shape. It’s really hard to workout when you’re touring and your schedule is really hectic but I try to eat as healthy as possible. Just getting to play shows, I’m always jumping around…[but] when I’m at home I work with a trainer.”
