I don’t really know that much about love, it turns out.
If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don’t stop, don’t put it down.
I’ve never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that – of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.

When I’m in management meetings when we’re deciding my future, those decisions are left up to me. I’m the one who has to go out and fulfill all these obligations, so I should be able to choose which ones I do or not. That’s the part of my life where I feel most in control.
I’m 5’11, so when I wear heels, it’s definitely a really good view that I have. I’m, like, 6’2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.
For me, ‘risky’ is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is.
One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what’s really happening to me, even if it’s a tough pill to swallow for people around me… I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.
I love being a part of the country-music community.
‘Love Story’ I wrote on my bedroom floor in about 20 minutes.
Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you’d see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity.
Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.
When you are missing someone, time seems to move slower, and when I’m falling in love with someone, time seems to be moving faster.
Every single one of us has a few months here or there that feel like dark months.
