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.'

If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely. I wouldn't have some of the coolest friends that I'm so glad I've gotten to know.

When you run into someone that you used to be in love with, all that you have is drama, desperation and not know what to do.

People throw rocks at things that shine.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

I'm the type of person, I have to study to get an A on the test.

I love writing thank-you notes. There's something very nostalgic to me about the feel of a card and putting pen to paper. How many times in our lives are we required to put pen to paper anymore?
