If somebody hurts you, it's okay to cry a river, just remember to build a bridge and get over it.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

I've always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm.

I know that a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania is about the most random place for a country singer to come from, but I had an awesome childhood.

I'm not the girl who always has a boyfriend. I'm the girl who rarely has a boyfriend.

I don't compete with other people in the industry, I compete with myself.
