You have to able to make fun of yourself. Don't take things too seriously and when people make fun of you, laugh at it.

If you’re the girl that needs a boyfriend, and once she loses that boyfriend needs to replace it with a different boyfriend, it’s just this constant stream of boyfriends all the time. I don’t feel like I ever want to be that girl. I want to be the girl that when she falls in love, it’s a big deal and it’s a rare thing.

It's pretty unhealthy to obsess over what people think about you.

I've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn't feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you've got to work as hard as them.

I like organizing things. I like organizing my closets, so that I know where everything is. And and I used to color code it.

If you're yelling you're the one who's lost control of the conversation.

I was from a small town, and nobody really expects you to leave, especially before you graduate. That doesn't happen.
