I do write a lot from personal experience, but I also embellish a bit.

Country music has always sort of been country music.

I'm married to my best friend!

I think [“Shake It Off”] is awesome! It sticks in your head. I heard it one time and I was, like, singing it all day long! Of course she's gonna go and do a pop record if she wants to. She's an amazing writer so if she comes back tomorrow and says 'I'm gonna make a country record now', we'll listen to that and buy it too! I mean, it doesn't matter. I'm just proud of her for doing whatever art she wants to do; it's gonna be successful it's Taylor Swift! I have a lot of her material on my iPod and I bought the new single. I'm a supporter of hers.

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

Really skinny actresses make me hungry. I see them and think, 'Honey, you need to eat!'

The road is hard, and you have to get accustomed to it.
