Sophistication isn't what you wear and who you know.

I've been careful in love. I've been careless in love. And I've had adventures I wouldn't trade for anything.

I want to make people feel things when they hear my music I want to give a song to someone who is going through a break up, I want to give a song to someone who loves someone and can't tell them. A song for someone who has just fallen in love and a song for just people who are living their lives.

And you know there’s nothing like writing a song about someone who’s mean to you, and just makes your life miserable…and then winning a Grammy for it.

My imagination is a twisted place.

Just because you make a good plan, doesn't mean that's what's gonna happen.

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