“That’s the problem with falling in love. It makes you start talking like a bad country song”

“The problem is that when you change Romeo and Juliet’s story it ends up like that ridiculous Taylor Swift song. And that’s not what people love about Romeo and Juliet.”

“Renee used to say real life was a bad country song, except bad country songs were believable and real life isn't.”

“I fall in love with someone about twice a week, but I'm starting to think that’s a common problem with writers, that they have a dangerous excess of love that they give away to near strangers or turn inward on their private little worlds.”

“If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words”

“We all screw up. Everyone makes mistakes. That’s what she did. It was bad judgment, that’s all. You don’t cut off the people you love for mistakes like that.”
