Poetry and lyrics are very similar. Making words bounce off a page.

I've always been really, really aware of my insecurities - really, really aware. I never developed that thick skin that keeps you from letting things get to you.

My confidence is easy to shake. I am very well aware of all of my flaws. I am aware of all the insecurities that I have.

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.

Be good to people. Be good to every single person you come into contact with. My best friends are great musicians. But more than that, they're great people.

I’m beginning to think that you don’t find happiness from living your life looking ahead or back… that you find it when you look around.

I keep one eye on the path I didn't choose every day.
