I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It's when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.

When I'm thinking about going on a date with some guy or considering liking him, it really doesn't matter what they do or how that affects my career.

Sometimes the people you thought would be there forever somehow aren't.

My parents have always been very respectful of me so I’ve always been really respectful of them. My worst fear is to let them down so that’s why I don’t misbehave.

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

There’s something to be said for being young and needing someone so badly that you jump in headfirst without looking.
