Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love.

The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart.

And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that's fine with me!

You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off. It's not an urge I have. For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off.

I know what it's like to pine away for that summer romance you just can't get back.

The world doesn’t owe you anything. You have to work for everything you get and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.
