Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst, be that fearless girl, the one who would dare to do anything, be that independent girl who didn’t need a man; be that girl who never backed down.

Everytime you smile, I smile And everytime you shine, I'll shine for you.

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.

I have rules for life, but not for love. If I think too hard about a relationship, I'll talk myself out of it

People say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, but the truth is you just never thought you’d ever lose it.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

I think I feel in love with words before I feel in love with music.
