When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.

I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself - let's put it that way.

I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.

People like bluegrass. It's had a following amongst a lot of hip and young people. A lot of college kids like bluegrass.

There's a lot of women now with a whole lot of style but they are not necessarily song stylists. Some of their style is a lot like me and a lot of people sound a lot alike - you can't tell them apart.

I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out.

Wouldn't it be something if we could have things we love in abudance without their losing that special attraction the want of them held for us.
