I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.

I don't have to worry about what people are thinking and what's going on in the industry. I don't want that stuff to influence what I'm doing. Because I think it stifles you creatively. I don't want to have to care too much about that. All I care about is what the fans think. It's really all I care about, honestly.

Coming from where I came from, it was unimaginable to ever be wealthy. That was just too far out of my reach.

I wouldn't call myself a feminist, because I think there are differences between men and women.

I wanted to do a summary of my life and career. There’s been so many different looks, and so many types of songs that have become iconic, so it was just kind of fun to look back on everything

It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.

My fears and anxieties throughout my whole life have been slowly squeezing my voice.
