“A great song will say how you feel better than you ever could.”

There are two ways you can go with pain: You can let it destroy you or you can use it as fuel to drive you.

I never want to change so much that people can’t recognize me.

I’ve wanted one thing for me whole life and I’m not going to be that girl who wants one thing her whole life then gets it and complains.

In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on.

You can stay the same person you’ve always been even if everything around you changes.

I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past – I want it to be in the future.

If you’re lucky enough to be different, never change.

People haven’t always been there for me but music always has.

Delicate is a song that was written about such a vulnerable time in my life

It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairy tale image of the world doesn’t match the reality.

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Really connecting with someone and maybe opening their mind a little bit, is such a cool thing to be able to do through music.

When I think about country music, I think about America.

I love working out to Michael Jackson.

Life and love go on, let the music play.

I never pretended to have a great voice. It works and I can carry a tune. If you have a good song, that’s about all that’s required.
