I'm more honest in my lyrics than I am in anything else. It's where I feel the most safe to express myself.
I'm not just a child star. And I'm not just someone's sister. And I'm not just a teen mom.
Alabama is somebody that I have always loved, but I think what is so cool about them - it's amazing, actually - is that even people who aren't enormous fans, you know their music. You know of them; you know what they've done in the music world. I think that really says something about them.
The first year of marriage, you definitely get to throw the wife card out whenever you're mad.
To me, being in the studio is one of the most exciting parts about being an artist.
Of course, you want to be respected by your peers, and you want people to connect to you as an artist, but for me, it's more about staying true to myself and doing something I believe in and focusing on that.
I would be lying if I said if I didn't miss out on what normal teenagers do, of course. But I don't need pity for that.
You have to be an adult; there is no sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself.
Truthfully, my childhood was so fun. Everything was new, and everything was like Christmas because we were just from this small town, and my sister had amazing success. It was so amazing to see my sister reach such heights.
I would say the only thing I may change is that my whole family could live in Louisiana. That would be nice if all our houses were a block away from each other. That, to me, would be the best thing in the entire world.
It's a different process for me, but it's really cool to hear someone else singing the song that you wrote.
That's what's amazing about songwriting: you can write a story that everyone connects to.
I loved the Dixie Chicks. They were always so fun.
I really like Holly Williams. I've said that a bunch, but her song 'Drinkin',' I just love it.
Me and my dad, we'd go to the dirt bike races every year. I mean we'd go probably too much every year. And he would make me listen to all country music.
