I love being a part of the country-music community.

so i sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew, so close your eyes, escape this town for a little while.

I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they're actresses or singers or things like that.

There’s something to be said for being young and needing someone so badly that you jump in headfirst without looking.

Love is unpredictable and it’s frustrating and it’s tragic and it’s beautiful.

In high school, I used to think it was "like sooooo cool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.

Sometimes you see these people who are just so—God—so affected by all of it, where ambition has taken precedence over happiness. But when I meet people who really embody this serenity of knowing that they have had an amazing life—James Taylor, Kris Kristofferson, and Ethel Kennedy... They just seem to be effervescent.
