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.

Being single is wonderful and I love it. I don't ever have a morning where I wake up and say, 'I really need to find a boyfriend today.'

I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions.

If people ask me about it, I think it would be great for me to be like, 'Look, [Kanye West] called me and told me the line before it came out. Like, joke's on you guys, we're fine'.

I'm never in the same place for more than, like, three days at a time. Things can change from one minute to the next.

I always aspire to just be really nice to people. To be kind.

Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life - you need to live it on your terms for a while.
