You have to stop looking in the mirror and realize that your living for yourself, not other people.

If somebody hurts you, it's okay to cry a river, just remember to build a bridge and get over it.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

You never imagine that when you say hello to someone and you fall in love, that some day you'll have to say goodbye.

A lot of the jewelry that I wear are fan gifts because they're so awesome and they give me great presents.

I remember auditioning for record labels and having them tell me, 'Well, the country-radio demographic is the thirty-five-year-old female housewife. Give us a song that relates to the thirty-five-year-old female, and we'll talk.'

I think the first thing you should know is that nobody in country music 'made it' the same way. It's all different. There's no blueprint for success, and sometimes you just have to work at it.
