Bear the burdens of others, but don't put them in your pocket too.

People that could yodel always fascinated me. People that could sing loud always fascinated me. So I started trying to mimic at a really young age: 6, 7 years old.

Singing is a form of meditation... apparently the only one that I have command over.

But I'm warning you, we're growing up.

You can't change people, but most importantly, unless you're their momma, you don't even know what's best for them.

I've read and heard that some of the most inspiring vocal interpreters adhere habitually to one rule: Always think the lyrics as you're singing them, so that the sentiment is always appropriate and heartfelt.

My mother's a singer and my mother's father is a singer, and everyone on both sides are all country-western bluegrass musicians.
