I'm all about small towns. I think it's a great place to grow up.

I think a great song appeals to older and younger people and it makes you think. It’s also honest, and it also doesn’t hurt if it’s fun to sing along to.

I used to write poems more when I was younger, but I haven’t in a long time. I just write ideas and paragraphs and go from there.

If I’m not writing about myself, then I sit down with people I really dig writing with and throw ’em out and see if something sticks. Their brain plus mine hopefully will make something interesting and cool and it will just snowball and we’ll have a unique song by the end of it.

I’m really proud to be a woman representing Country music.

I’m a really huge John Prine fan; I love his clever conversationalist songs.

I would love to go to India. And also someday, I want to have a family. That’s my bucket-list.

Anyone singing about trucks, in any form, in any song, anywhere, literally just stop – nobody cares!

A great song will be great forever – it’s timeless and classic in that way.

I’d rather be more of the hippie country chick – as in, instead of pointing a finger, just maybe saying, ‘We’re all screw-ups. We’re all in this kind of together. We’re all just figuring this out.’
