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've always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm.
Beauty is sincerity.There are so many different ways someone can be beautiful.
I think the first thing you should know is that nobody in country music 'made it' the same way. It's all different. There's no blueprint for success, and sometimes you just have to work at it.
There are two ways love can go. You can be good to each other or you could not play fair.
The worst possible way a relationship can end is when somebody cheats on somebody else.
Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life - you need to live it on your terms for a while.
When you see something bad happening out in the world, you should try to help in whatever way you can.
You can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things; either way, you're obsessed with yourself, and I'm not - you can become unhinged so easily.
You learn lessons. A lot of them the hard way.
Style is such a personal thing; it's your way to be an individual.
In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late.
She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile...
I don't live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free.
I've always written songs the same way. You learn different tricks - you learn craft, you learn structure, all that - as you go.
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 know that if things hadn't gone the way they did then I wouldn't be where I am now.
Songs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.
I like things that make me feel seven again. I don't ever look down on people for the way they choose to have fun; it's just not necessarily the way I like to have fun.
