Really skinny actresses make me hungry - I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat!
— Miranda Lambert
You have a career, and you start as a business person. And you work your way, you reach this peak, and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.
We had like a jolt of women in country, and it seems like we're just kind of there now.
Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.
I've dated all kinds of guys and didn't know who I'd end up with. But I kind of assumed it would be someone more like my dad than not.
I did surveillance a lot, which sounds exciting, but it never was.
I try not to get too ahead of myself. I try to be happy where I am.
Instead of going to college, I spent my time out on the road learning how to be a better musician.
Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'
It's important I deliver a great show and a good time.
My parents are private investigators for God's sake.
Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.
There's been a shift: Country music is popular music now. Every other genre wants to come over to our land.
When I'm touring, I have to think of workouts that don't require a gym.
I think it's awesome to see people of all different ages from all kinds of backgrounds come together for the love of music.
At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.
Yeah, I try to be the best example I can be for young girls just as far as my person goes - just to uphold a good image.
Crunches only go so deep.
One year, I was nominated for entertainer of the year, and I didn't think I deserved it.
I'd love to write for other people.
Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?
The bigger you get, the more pressure you have to deal with.
Junk food drags you down.
I hope my music sets up the platform for me to be able to do lots of things - to have a cowboy-boot line, maybe, or do a perfume or makeup deal.
I got my first handgun license when I was 22.
Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.
I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.
I definitely don't ever want to burn out at my job.
If you don't stand for something, how can anyone respect what you do?
I wanted to be heard, not seen. That's how it all started.
After trying Atkins and doing Nutrisystem a few times, now I'm just focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting.
For each album, I let the music that I love at that point in my life be my guide.
Currently I'm not a crazy ex-girlfriend, but I can't promise I won't be one again.
I really love jeans.
It's OK to have a little bit of curve.
I kicked the door open, and I'm gonna hold my leg in there. I'm keeping the door open for all these amazing female singer-songwriters that are coming out.
My parents live right down the street from the house I grew up in.
I'm country through and through.
In a way, I had such a normal life. But in another way, I saw things most kids don't see.
I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this crazy world right now.
I would love to have a song that I wrote by myself to win a 'Song of the Year' award.
I'm a lifetime member of the NRA.
I'm married to my best friend!
I love country music.
Right now it seems like the girls are drawing more attention to country music.
If you're not polarizing, you failed, in my opinion.
I don't mind having a big butt - they're back in style. But I do a lot of squats to make sure my booty's not dragging on the ground.
My weight always fluctuates by 10 pounds.
I am incredibly thankful for the strong support I have from my peers in the industry and of course my amazing fans.
Onstage, I don't want to be thinking about my outfit, I want to think about what I'm doing, so I'll try to dress as comfortably as possible.
