I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.

I believe in equality for everyone. I believe everyone should have the right to love and commit to whomever they want. [...] All I know is that in God's eyes we are all the same. I just wish we could see through the eyes of God more often.

When I first came out with Blue, everyone compared me to Patsy Cline, which is the biggest honor, 'cause I've always looked up to her.

We definitely set out to make a great 'radio' record. We set out to write great hooky choruses-but with verses that said something.

I've never heard a song written from a stepmother's point of view, about their family.

I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way.

Even listening to a lot of other music inspires me, too. Like I'll find something and be like, "I love this group!" And I want to write something that's kind of like this.
