Yeah, I have a tough-girl image.

I don't really do acting. I've done a little bit - enough to know I'll stick to what I know. Music is my thing.

I'm really fortunate because, in my career, I haven't had to deal with anybody trying to make me something I'm not.

I am incredibly thankful for the strong support I have from my peers in the industry and of course my amazing fans.

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.

Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.

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