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 try to prepare for everything beyond the extent of preparation.

I'm not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.

My dad is adorably optimistic, positive, pie-in-the-sky. He thinks every new song I write is my best. He sells T-shirts at my merchandise stands and hands out guitar picks to fans.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.

If you think about human nature, our favourite pair of shoes are the ones we bought yesterday, our favourite thing is the newest thing that we have…and the thing we’ve seen the most and for the longest period of time is our reflection in the mirror, so obviously that’s going to be our least favourite thing.

My favorite place in the whole world is Nashville. Because it's my home, it's Music City. It's like, everybody there is so artistic and so creative, and nice! Everybody's really friendly.
