Marriage is gonna be your stability through everything.Collection: Marriage
My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'Collection: Change
Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'Collection: Sad
After trying Atkins and doing Nutrisystem a few times, now I'm just focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting.Collection: Diet
Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?Collection: Music

I kicked the door open, and I'm gonna hold my leg in there. I'm keeping the door open for all these amazing female singer-songwriters that are coming out.Collection: Amazing
I was always suspicious and looking over my shoulder because that's how I was raised.
Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.
My mom always says I cut my teeth on the church pew.
I like to say what I think, and if it happens to push buttons, sorry.
My parents are private investigators for God's sake.
It's important I deliver a great show and a good time.
I don't mind having a big butt - they're back in style. But I do a lot of squats to make sure my booty's not dragging on the ground.
The road is hard, and you have to get accustomed to it.
I didn't go to parties or anything like that.
I think it's awesome to see people of all different ages from all kinds of backgrounds come together for the love of music.
The bigger you get, the more pressure you have to deal with.
My shows are always a mix of songs from all my albums with some rocking covers thrown in for fun.
I didn't do that many crazy things.
Currently I'm not a crazy ex-girlfriend, but I can't promise I won't be one again.
I don't really like vegetables. But I'll eat them.
I have seven rescue dogs.
A lot of people tell me, once they get to know me, that they're surprised that I'm nothing like they think I'll be.
Yeah, I have a tough-girl image.
People see me as someone who doesn't take any crap from anyone - which I don't - but it's my shtick, and I obviously don't act like that all the time.
I'd love to get played on the radio, but it just doesn't happen.
I also have a different, softer side, and I want for people to hear that.
My music is about being strong, even in your vulnerability.
I had to work at everything.
I sucked in school.
Music was the first thing I did where I was naturally talented.
I do write a lot from personal experience, but I also embellish a bit.
I was a big shiny, glittery-type person. Now I'm a jeans and T-shirt girl, or I'll wear sun dresses and cowboy boots in the summer. But at first I had to have stylists tell me, 'That's ugly.'
I'm an outdoors girl - I like to go fishing, riding four-wheelers, hunting.
I do appreciate every single dollar I earn.
I'm really fortunate because, in my career, I haven't had to deal with anybody trying to make me something I'm not.
In my everyday life, I'm pretty normal.
I just am who I am.
My family is awesome.
I started writing songs at 17.
I feel like I've started to grow up and be more of a woman instead of this crazy girl.
I feel like I am one of those artists that, thank god, can sing live.
I have a pretty good ear.
I don't want to get pigeonholed.
I really think that being yourself, being original, being outside the box is starting to be appealing to people.
I've been on big tours ever since I started, but you can't just go out there and headline, you have to do it right.
I like to write with people I have a relationship with; otherwise it's kind of scary, and you hold back because you don't want to pour your guts out to someone you never met.
