We were built to fall apart and fall back together.

Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when you're nine. I have to believe that. You do too.

Always consider giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game... And if it's a game, then you need to win.

It's never been about trying to look well-behaved. It's just how I am. I guess it's a weird thing to be 19 and not ever have been drunk, but for me, it just feels normal because I don't really know any other way. I don't know if I'd be comfortable getting wasted and not knowing what I've said. That doesn't mean when I'm older I won't have a glass of wine. I just don't think it's such a strange thing for me not to be wasted all the time.

Bring on all the pretenders!

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

I could get drunk and run around Nashville naked. But I won't because I want to set a good example for my fans. I think they deserve to have a role model.
