One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me.... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

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 suffer from girlnextdooritis where the guy is friends with you and that's it.

We're in our twenties and we don't know anything and it's awesome.

I've seen my friends take someone back after they've cheated because they fit perfectly.

I could get drunk and run around Nashville naked. But I won't because I want to set a good example for my fans. I think they deserve to have a role model.

The past is the past. Don't let it kill you.
