You have to be happy with who you are and the choices you make. If you don't like yourself, you'll never be truly happy.

I don't live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free.

I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life.

When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they're part of a family, not just a tour.

I've wanted one thing in my life. I don't want to be that girl that gets that one thing then complains.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

I have always felt a little strange about it being so unique that I'm not a train wreck. Like, this weird fluke that I'm not - partying all the time.
