I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.

My voice is stronger today than ever.

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

Country music is still your grandpa's music, but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.

I feel like I'm on top of the world. Honestly, I feel like I've climbed a very giant mountain, and I'm just standing right on top with my arms wide open and breathing rarified air.

It always disappoints me when I go to a concert and they don't play my favorite song, or at least one of their biggest hits.

My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind, and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.
