I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself.

A development deal is where they're giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they'll put an album out.

It's never been about trying to look well-behaved. It's just how I am. I guess it's a weird thing to be 19 and not ever have been drunk, but for me, it just feels normal because I don't really know any other way. I don't know if I'd be comfortable getting wasted and not knowing what I've said. That doesn't mean when I'm older I won't have a glass of wine. I just don't think it's such a strange thing for me not to be wasted all the time.

Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.

Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love.

Don't find love, let it find you. It's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall, you just do.
