Too many people focus on writing what they think they should write, what should be in a song, what radio would want.
When I started out, I wanted to be the kind of artist who could play the CMA Music Festival and then turn around and play Bonnaroo, and I've managed to do both.
I didn't necessarily grow up in a trailer park, but there is a brief part of that in my life. So I can make fun of it a little bit. I'm not too much of an outsider, where I'm just making fun of someone.
Of course I get angry, but I want to use my brain a little bit and not just smash things.
Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that's fine; it's OK. I don't want to be the McDonald's of music. I don't want to not turn anyone off. If you were everybody's cup of tea, you'd probably be boring.
My fans are pretty spot-on with their gifts. This girl that was super into baking had made this entire batch of cookies - there were one with a dandelion on it, one with a trailer, and some had my face.
Loretta Lynn was one of those ladies a long time ago that opened a lot of doors and paved the way for a lot of ballsy singer-songwriters who weren't just cute.
Lee Ann Womack is from near where I grew up in East Texas, so I've always looked up to her. I sang a lot of Dolly Parton as a kid and a lot of traditional western swing, like Patsy Cline and Roy Rogers.
I love vintage cowboy boots, and some days I'm into platform stilettos encrusted in jewels. It's really all over the place.
I like to make people think a little bit.
I don't push buttons to push buttons. Throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap.
I do try to shop online and support people who hand-make their stuff, and because you can find stuff that nobody else has.
I did tennis for a while, and I was actually on the volleyball team for a minute.
Fame freaks me out. Do you just wake up different? I don't know how to scale it back if it gets too crazy.
