Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn't just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction.

I would love to sign on to do a movie if it was the right role and if it was the right script, because I would be taking time away from music to tell a big grand story, and spend all of my time and pouring all of my emotions into being someone else. So for me to do that, it would have to be a story worth telling.

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.

My favorite place in the whole world is Nashville. Because it's my home, it's Music City. It's like, everybody there is so artistic and so creative, and nice! Everybody's really friendly.

But when I hear a great song, I can't help but be inspired by it, regardless of whatever genre that song falls under.

As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing - hopefully.

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves. They'll judge it like they know about me and you.
