I’ve been talking a lot about how music chooses you because you can pinpoint when you had the epiphany that, ‘Wow, I really want to do this.’ But there’s no real rhyme or reason about choosing to be in this industry. It’s one of those things where there is no real guarantee; there is no real rulebook to follow. Lzzy Hale Read Quote

You can pick out the scariest dude on the tour and, guaranteed, he’s probably a smush – I just find that so incredibly attractive. Lzzy Hale Read Quote
