I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.

I don't think it's the most important thing in life to fit it. I think it's the most important thing in life to dance to the beat of your own drum and to look like you're having more fun than the people who look cool like they fit in.

Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you want to go... soon your gonna find stealing other people toys on the playground won't make you many friends.

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.

My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style.

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

I realized that I have very long arms so I can take the perfect arm-length picture with fans
