When something hits you, you better go with it.

I was the kid jamming out to the songs on the radio, and now there's hopefully kids out there jamming out to my music.
-
You get to tell your story through your music if you choose to.
-
Whether it's a show or an interview, the way I look at it is that one day people might not want to interview me. So I want to enjoy this ride while I can.

Before I ever had my record deal, I just had a publishing deal over at Sony ATV. I had that title, 'Flatliner,' and just the idea of a girl stopping everybody's heart - just kind of a fun idea.
-
My dad always believed in me. He was always kind of, 'All right, buddy, if that's what you want to do...' My mom was always more of a realist.
-
I'm not the only one who has ever lost somebody; I'm not the only one who was missing somebody. That's what I love about country music, that's what I love about songwriters, is being able to put out those words, those feelings.
-
If I start putting too much pressure on myself, that's something my mama is there to help with.
-
I'm not very patient.
-
All I ever wanted to do was write songs, and I just dreamed of putting out an album and having a single that maybe did alright.
-
Just being from where I'm from, a little small town, I feel like I'm a good judge of character.

Having Dierks Bentley on a song is one of the coolest things I've ever gotten to experience. For one, him agreeing to do a song with me but two, getting to share that moment in the studio.
-
I am so happy to be able to do what I love. To have the songs I've written for other artists go No. 1 and my songs go to No. 1 has been amazing.
-
My first album, I had to write everything. Nobody was going to send me stuff just because I had a little success.
-
Whenever it was spring break, someone would always have a guitar down at the beach, and they'd play a random song, and I'd sing. Eventually, hearing compliments from people saying I sounded pretty good stuck with me.
-
It's just crazy to have a dream - have a plan - and then it all just kind of comes true. To me, that proves that you have to have a vision first.
-
Georgia Southern was such a big part of me getting my start.
-
I wanted to get better at writing, so I knew I needed to move to Nashville.
-
I know how music makes me feel; I know how it affects my life.
-
Being a big Braves fan, Turner Field would be cool to play a show at.
-
I had a publishing deal way before I had a record deal.
-
As an artist, as a person, I don't want to be here for just a little while.
-
When I say I'm living the dream, I honestly don't know how it can get any better.

I remember this song by Clay Walker that came out in the '90s called 'This Woman and This Man,' and it was about breaking up, loss, the pain of moving on, and my parents were just getting divorced at the time, so I listened to it over and over again.
