Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams. All of them are different styles, but those are the songs that make the times. They're the songs that last through time.

Sometimes I like to run naked in the moonlight and the wind, on a little trail behind our house, when the honeysuckle blooms. It's a feeling of freedom, so close to God and nature.

When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.

I look like a woman, but I think like a man.

Believe it or not, I was just given an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Tennessee.

I'll never graduate from collagen.

Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.
