I think you really have to tap into your sense of humor in order to survive.

Appreciate what you have while you have it and the beauty in what’s there right now and try to preserve it for tomorrow.

Getting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don't know why this one is different, but it is. You don't know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can't stop thinking about it.

I didn't have friends. No one talked to me. I used to go to the Wyndcroft School (nationally recognized for academic excellence) in Pottstown, and when I moved to Wyomissing, I didn't know anybody.

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

I dream about finding an exception and finding someone who would make me believe in love and realize that it can work out.

So many girls come up and say to me, 'I have never listened to country music in my life. I didn't even know my town had a country-music station. Then I got your record, and now I'm obsessed.' That's the coolest compliment to me.
