People get strange about whether you've written your own songs, which seems really stupid considering that, especially in Country Music, it's about oral tradition and passing things on and the songs weren't meant to be played by one person and then forgotten.

I get outside a lot. I am a huge champion of physical activity. It's so important.

It's like sometimes, you can just lay back and it takes the pressure off of you.

I didn't want to be the girl who posed in 'Playboy' and then - by the way - made some music.

Playing in an independent rock band will eventually make you equal parts truck driver, gladiator and mule. Glamour is for those with trust funds.

I don't feel nervous or fearful when I'm on stage.

I know that I can sing really loud. It's like having that really big Evinrude engine on the back of your fishing boat. But I've been trying to be more dynamic with my voice and not just singing on ten all of time out of terror.
