Stubbornness and ignorance and determination are a very fine line from each other. I'm a very stubborn person, but not so stubborn that I can't learn new things and meet new people, but I have a one-track mind.

I don't think there's anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it.

I think every artist would love to just please themselves musically all day long.

I can't sing anything other than country!

I wanted to make a traditional record that had a lot of art and showed my vulnerable side and showed things I'm passionate about.

Anybody can get lost in themselves.

I've certainly had to bite my tongue on occasion and live to fight another day, so to speak, on certain things. But when you're new and fresh, you come out and think, 'I don't want to screw my chance up, so I'll go along with what everybody else does.'
