I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.

It's dangerous to read the Internet about yourself when you're me. Or when you're anyone in the public eye.

FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again....even though every time you've tried before you've lost.

I believe when it comes to love, there's something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don't think I have a pattern.

I remember auditioning for record labels and having them tell me, 'Well, the country-radio demographic is the thirty-five-year-old female housewife. Give us a song that relates to the thirty-five-year-old female, and we'll talk.'

Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?

When I was a teenager I felt like we were always being stereotyped as being really intense and dramatic and passionate and hopelessly romantic and excitable, now in retrospect I think I need to let you know those things are amazing. I hope you never lose those things.
