There's a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it.
My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.
I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that's fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that's fine. And it might not be right, because I'm the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It's the one shred of privacy I have in the matter.
I'm the kind of person who needs to feel like everything happens for a reason. When you date a guy and it goes badly, that's horrible. But if you can write a song about it, then it was worth it.
I've always been really, really aware of my insecurities - really, really aware. I never developed that thick skin that keeps you from letting things get to you.
I can imagine it's hard to make a relationship last. I wouldn't know.
I've written all my songs on every single one of my records, and that's what's been fun about looking back.
I go to all these photo shoots, and each time I figure out something new about myself and what I want to wear.
I'm a songwriter. Everything affects me.
As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing - hopefully.
In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.
I don't really know that much about love, it turns out.
I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions that you can possibly delve into.
I love being a part of the country-music community.
