My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.

I really think that being yourself, being original, being outside the box is starting to be appealing to people.

Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.

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

I feel like I've started to grow up and be more of a woman instead of this crazy girl.

Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.

There's room for everyone. There's room for pop country, for 'rock & roll' country, for stone-cold country, and everything in-between. Great music is great music.
