He is a place of rest in my life and that’s what the song is about…It’s his favorite song on the record.”Although many Dallas Cowboys fans blamed Romo’s relationship with Simpson as the reason behind the team’s less than stellar season last year, she declared, “I won’t be wearing the jersey to the game, but I have been there and definitely going to support the Cowboys all the way.”When asked why the pop singer decided to make a country album, she responded, “Country was just something that’s in my bones. It’s in my blood. It’s in my voice. It’s in my heart and I just wanted to pack my stuff up and go to Nashville and write with some of my favorite songwriters.”Simpson hopes that the album will reveal her true self saying, “I just think it’s important for people to know that I’m human…I’m a good person with a good heart and great intentions…I’m a good sister. I’m a good daughter. I’m a good girlfriend.”As for her public image, Simpson says, “It’s really disheartening in a way how the media can control somebody’s perspective on someone else’s life…It’s really sad how people want to believe the worst…I’m really not as important people make me out to be.”“Extra’s” interview with Jessica Simpson airs tonight.
