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

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.

I definitely think that with music my favorite thing about Nashville is that it's a music hub that accepts and allows all genres to be present, and I think there's been a kind of fusing of genres lately that for me makes me really happy and excited.

the battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down, if you said you'd rather love than fight.

I don't think it should be a big deal who you love.

My parents raised me to never feel like I was entitled to success.That you have to work for it. You have to work so hard for it. And sometimes then you don't even get where you need to go.

Never regret your past. You have to move on and learn from it.
