You gotta tell the story the way that it happened to you and the way you experienced it.

But I say to Apple with all due respect, we don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.

Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go.

My attitude has always been if you get better and you see success, that should motivate you to even work harder, so that's kinda how I approach everything.

It never mattered to me that people in school didn't think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it - though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, 'I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.'

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

A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.
