firsts
Music was the first thing I did where I was naturally talented.
albums life-is guides
For each album, I let the music that I love at that point in my life be my guide.
song falling-in-love writing
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.
thinking fire people
I think being a Texan - we sort of have that extra fire in us as a breed. I just felt like from day one I had something to say and I wanted to make sure people heard me, and it's worked.
beautiful thinking care
I don’t care about being stick-thin. I don’t want stuff to jiggle. Really skinny actresses make me hungry—I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat! I’m lucky I don’t have to live like that. I feel my best when I’m a toned, not flabby, size 8. Women come up to me and say, ‘You’re beautiful and confident, and that makes me feel I can be, too.’
girl growing-up crazy
I feel like I've started to grow up and be more of a woman instead of this crazy girl.
friendship my-best-friend married
I'm married to my best friend!
four week bus
When you live with someone on the bus, for four days a week, you really have to get along.
family my-family
My family is awesome.
song dad believe
I just feel like it's easier to co-write sometimes, especially if you have chemistry with somebody. It kind of takes all the pressure off of you. But, you know, I started writing songs by myself. I didn't really have a co-writer, besides my dad. When I see a record and it has a song on it that someone wrote [alone], I just really believe in them as a writer. I feel like it's a window into them, more than it is if you write a song with someone else.
country writing rocks
There's room for everyone. There's room for pop country, for 'rock & roll' country, for stone-cold country, and everything in-between. Great music is great music.
audience performers
I learned a lot about my audience and about myself as a performer, what I like to do live.
giving-up causes given
I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me.
guilty
Is it guilty in here or is it just me?
