I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.

If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it's cool that happens.

But when I hear a great song, I can't help but be inspired by it, regardless of whatever genre that song falls under.

I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.

My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again.

I've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn't feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you've got to work as hard as them.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.
