I felt like my favorite writers have almost musical hooks in their work, whether it's poetry or a hook at the end of a chapter that makes you want to read the next one. And I think that my favorite writers definitely have something musical about what they do, in saying something so relatable and universal and so simple.

I think your life is full of first loves because every time you love someone new, you love them in a different way.

Sometimes when relationships end, you write an e-mail and say everything you wish you said. Sometimes you don't push send.

I just drove past Brad Paisley jogging down the side of the road. I rolled down the window and screamed RUN FORREST RUN. I live for….. little moments…..like that.

All those emotions spanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealously, all those feelings are red.

the battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down, if you said you'd rather love than fight.

I definitely think that with music my favorite thing about Nashville is that it's a music hub that accepts and allows all genres to be present, and I think there's been a kind of fusing of genres lately that for me makes me really happy and excited.
