Being a pop-leaning, female artist, you'd think that I'd have my record company breathing down my neck and trying to control everything I'm doing. Actually, they've just kind of let me take the wheel.

I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.

You can't come out on a record dissing the system and be on a label that's connected to the system.

I tend to feel really protective of songs, and if they aren't sitting well in a record, I'll pull them tight to my chest until I feel it's a better time.

The record company stay out of my way. Whenever the record is finished, they take it.

I should be the one to say what I do. It's just not done that way anymore in Nashville, and I can't do it the other way. That's how our record label came about.

There are so many things to be worried about, and I wanted to make a record that people could put on, and it would lift them up the way the sun did for me each day.

I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.

Boy, I'm just quietly doing my thing, and I hope they'll look around and get my record out.
