Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.

The nice thing about the world that I've been able to inhabit for the last couple of years is that I'm given a lot of freedom. Not all artists really get that.

I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock.

You look out there and there's people that, their day is changed because of your contribution to it.

Jackass millionaires, hey, hey, Hollywood, here we come.

I can't see this world unless I go/ outside my southern comfort zone.

Even on the most serious ballads, I'll throw in a tongue-in-cheek remark.
