Musician

I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.

Junk food drags you down.

After trying Atkins and doing Nutrisystem a few times, now I'm just focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting.

Marriage is gonna be your stability through everything.

I love country music.

I have a pretty good ear.

We had like a jolt of women in country, and it seems like we're just kind of there now.

For each album, I let the music that I love at that point in my life be my guide.

I don't mind having a big butt - they're back in style. But I do a lot of squats to make sure my booty's not dragging on the ground.

Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.

My music is about being strong, even in your vulnerability.

Currently I'm not a crazy ex-girlfriend, but I can't promise I won't be one again.

Instead of going to college, I spent my time out on the road learning how to be a better musician.

I really feel every word to every song a lot more than I have in the past.
