There's always that seventh-grade girl who looks like she's 25. And you're like, How do you do it? How do you do it, Sarah Jaxheimer?Why is your hair always so shiny?!

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 began absolutely non-stop tormenting my parents, begging them on a daily basis to move there.

Seems like the only one who doesn't see your beauty is the face in the mirror looking back at you.

I'm not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.

As supportive as my hometown is, in my high school, there are people who would probably walk up to me and punch me in the face. There's a select few that will never like me. They don't like what I stand for. They don't like somebody who stands for being sober, who stands for anything happy. They're going to be negative no matter what.

Sometimes bravery is as simple as following your gut.
