Live your life like you are 80 years old looking back on your teenage years

I could get drunk and run around Nashville naked. But I won't because I want to set a good example for my fans. I think they deserve to have a role model.

Happiness can be reached by choice and how you look at life.

I feel like in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn't say in real life.

I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate.

My career always involved being the person in charge of what I was portraying to people. "I never wanted to be an image of something I didn't believe in, an image that somebody else had put together. The idea of that just really scared me, more than the idea of failing.

I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is - this thing that happens to everyone, so I've heard.
