Having room to run and having just the space to use your imagination and create stories out of everyday life, I think that had a lot to do with me wanting write. And write songs

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.

The beginning of love is all about the butterflies, but the end of it is when you can't get out of bed in the morning.

I approach love differently now that I know it's hard for it to work out.

People throw rocks at things that shine.

I will always believe in love and I don't care what happens to me or how many times I get my heart broken, or how many breakup songs I write, I'm always going to believe that someday I am going to meet somebody who is actually right for me and he's going to be wonderful and it's going to work out.

I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.
