I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more.

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.

My father was a beautiful man.

I wish my parents had spent more time worrying about my education than me being a star.

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.

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

I'm not going to be somebody who wants to hold on to my fame for the rest of my life.
