They're [haters] just building you up to knock you down. But for me, they haven't.

The longer you're with the wrong person, you could be completely overlooking the chance to meet the right person.

You can spend so much time wanting someone and they can have absolutely no idea.

Mom is a planner, an organizer. She's very strong and practical. She's the person that'll tell me if I ever start to change my personality. The balance of the two of them created my personality.

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.

I know what it's like to pine away for that summer romance you just can't get back.
