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 think I'm smart unless I'm really, really in love and then I am ridiculously stupid.

I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written... Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn't have much of a social life going on.

I'm pretty pale. In high school I was insecure and thought it'd be cool to go to a tanning bed. Now I just let it look the way it looks.

I think that as you grow up, as you get older, we can't get bitter, we can't get jaded.

My absolute favorite meal in Nashville is sweet-potato pancakes at Pancake Pantry.

People put you down because you're above them.
