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

I think I feel in love with words before I feel in love with music.

If you think about human nature, our favourite pair of shoes are the ones we bought yesterday, our favourite thing is the newest thing that we have…and the thing we’ve seen the most and for the longest period of time is our reflection in the mirror, so obviously that’s going to be our least favourite thing.

People are going to talk about you. But maybe you're having more fun than them anyway.

As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.

I've written all my songs on every single one of my records, and that's what's been fun about looking back.

I've learned through writing that if something made me feel deeply or anything at all, it was worth it.
