As your career grows, the list of things that makes you happy should not become smaller, it should become bigger.

So many girls come up and say to me, 'I have never listened to country music in my life. I didn't even know my town had a country-music station. Then I got your record, and now I'm obsessed.' That's the coolest compliment to me.

I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly, or at medium speed. I either do or I don’t.

At a certain point, if you chase two rabbits, you lose them both.

Life is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right.

I took a chance, I took a shot And you may think I’m bullet-proof, but I’m not. You took a swing, I took it hard. And down here from the ground I see who you are

I've always been really, really aware of my insecurities - really, really aware. I never developed that thick skin that keeps you from letting things get to you.
