When your roots grow out and things go south, go back to the salon

Country music is different because we [musicians] are all actually happy for each other. We're all friends. It's a little family. So if you don't win [an award], usually one of your friends does. So it's kind of a cool thing. I think it's the only genre of music to have that camaraderie.

I definitely don't ever want to burn out at my job.

I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me.

I won’t give up what I enjoy to look perfect. I want to find a happy medium between feeling good about my body and still having a beer and some barbecue.

I carry a weapon. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I don't want bodyguards. I am my own security.

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