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

Here I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place

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

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.

Don’t worry. You may think you’ll never get over it. But you also thought it would last forever.

We don't wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach.

All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years.
