My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion.

My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style.

In my mind, I see all of my passionate memories in bright, burning Red.

Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.

I think people inspire me the most. If I meet a person who is incredibly complex, and all of a sudden, I start thinking in rhymes, that person could be a muse.

Country radio is much more like a family than any other group of people that I've met.

When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive. In high school, I used to think it was "like sooooo cool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.
