Miranda Lambert

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.

Instead of going to college, I spent my time out on the road learning how to be a better musician.

I really feel every word to every song a lot more than I have in the past.

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.

I'm really fortunate because, in my career, I haven't had to deal with anybody trying to make me something I'm not.

I definitely don't ever want to burn out at my job.

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.

I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this crazy world right now.

I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.

Really skinny actresses make me hungry - I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat!

One year, I was nominated for entertainer of the year, and I didn't think I deserved it.

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.
