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

I like shirts and sweaters that fall off the shoulder or plaid button-ups.

Some of the most beautiful people in the whole world wake up some days and they don't think that they're pretty.

Love has absolutely no pattern, and no one will ever be perfect.

It never mattered to me that people in school didn't think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it - though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, 'I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.'

I have to believe in fairy tales and I have to believe in love.

I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that's fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that's fine. And it might not be right, because I'm the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It's the one shred of privacy I have in the matter.
