I would love to go to India. And also someday, I want to have a family. That's my bucket-list.

Don’t wreck my reputation / Let me wreck my own

The idea of massive amounts of fame-having my face on Walgreens end-caps and pizza boxes-I don't fantasize about that. I'm happy with just being a songwriter. I'd rather have smaller numbers [of fans] that are really into what I'm doing than a massive amount of people that don't really know what I'm about.

Say what you think / Love who you love.

The more country that my music gets, the less it fits into the country world today. It's almost like there needs to be two genres, modern country and... country?

I wrote my first song when I was nine, and it was called 'Notice Me'. My Mom still has the piece of paper around somewhere, but I can't even imagine how terrible it is.

Just do something that makes you stand out. Even if not everyone likes it, just do it.
