It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.
I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.
I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.'
You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.
I love the scents of winter! For me, it's all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.
It's so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.
Faith Hill is a big role model.
Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person.
If I think too hard about a relationship, I'll talk myself out of it.
I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway.
Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.
The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you're 16 can mirror the one you have when you're 26. Life repeats itself.
I can imagine it's hard to make a relationship last. I wouldn't know.
I think I have to trust that you end up with the person you're supposed to end up with, and that everything in between is there to teach you stuff.
I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever - wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails.
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.
I've been my mom's kitchen helper since I was a little kid.
My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion.
We don't need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful.
I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.'
I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.
There's so much about Dolly Parton that every female artist should look to, whether it's reading her quotes or reading her interviews or going to one of her live shows. She's been such an amazing example to every female songwriter out there.
For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.
I'm intimidated by the fear of being average.
I have so many indie bands on my iPod. What I don't really understand is the attitude that if a band is unknown, they're good, and if they get fans, then you move on to the next band.
I'm not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.
I don't know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal and love from a normal place and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens.
All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years.
I'm typically single. I'm the girl who - I call it girl-next-door-itis - the hot guy is friends with and gets all his relationship advice from but never considers dating.
