I'm a songwriter. Everything affects me.

Yes! I did [grow up on a Christmas Tree farm], so this is a good season for me. I was too young to help with the hauling of the trees up the hills and putting them onto cars. So, it was my job to pull off the preying mantis pods off of the Christmas trees. The problem with that is if you leave them on there, people bring them into their house. I forgot to check one time and they hatched all over these people’s house. And there were hundreds of thousands of them. And they had little kids, and they couldn’t kill of them because that’d be a bad Christmas.

Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go.

and you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.

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.

It's true that I've never had a burning desire to rebel against my parents.
