I've gotten into this nasty habit of running away from love, but maybe one day I can find the exception to that.

There is a time for silence. There is a time for waiting you turn. But if you know how you feel and you so clearly know what you need to say you'll know it. I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.

the battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down, if you said you'd rather love than fight.

Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.

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?

I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels.

There's so much about Dolly Parton that every female artist should look to, whether it's reading her quotes or reading her interviews or going to one of her live shows. She's been such an amazing example to every female songwriter out there.
