My mom was never afraid to say, 'I'm sorry. I screwed up.' I feel like that's an important lesson.

I guess if you don't jump, you'll never know if you can fly.

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

We write so many songs, it is difficult to narrow them down.

I was always suspicious and looking over my shoulder because that's how I was raised.

Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.

If you are a young girl who wants to be a country singer, just don't try to do it too early. Be a high school kid, be a cheerleader, do your thing. And also, just know who you are; know what you want to say and stick with it throughout.
