No member of our generation who wasn't a Communist or a dropout in the thirties is worth a damn.

While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass.

I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.

I refuse to be one of those artists who, 10 years from now, they're bitter about the rise and the fall of their career. I understand that somewhere there's a peak and a crest for me, and I'm going to enjoy all levels. I'm going to enjoy this ride that I'm on, and when it slows down, that's when it will be time for another phase of my life.

That's gotta be the one remaining constant - jeans have gotta be tight, baby.

I want my music to jump off the stage and out of the speakers. When we do 'Rain Is A Good Thing' paired back to back with 'Country Girl,' it just feels like the roof is fixin' to come off the place.

When you get performance slots for award shows - that's a big deal for me.

I'll always have songs with a farm connotation on my albums. It's in the fabric of my music, and I plan to keep it that way.

I always look back to awards shows and think about being a kid watching them.

American Idol allowed us to find Carrie Underwood.

I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan base.

I don't keep diaries anymore; They're quite incriminating. I just keep all the dirt road diaries in my head.

A frustration that I've had recently is that a lot of songs that I listen to draw on scenarios that aren't very realistic, so I just wanted to do something that was more down to earth. And I think my fans, who already know a lot about me, will learn something new.

I wan’t a girl who is fun and loves adventure.

I love the big red bus!

No,' Jimmy protested.

I can make your tears fall down like the showers that are British.

I don't know if we'll ever get used to the attention from the fans.

And as for you, stop having curly hair!

Swag mastah from Doncastah!

There's nothing that annoys me more than people being horrible to my mates.

What i do in my personal time is about me. if other people dont agree, then it doesn't matter 'cos it's my opinion and that's what counts at the end of the day.

I once woke up at a random guy's house and i didn't actually know who he was.

If you don't understand it, don't mess with it.
