I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

Sometimes if you jump into something too quickly, you can screw up something that might have been good two years down the road.

I'm very open with my business partners, just like I am with my husband.

Sometimes a song just has to cater to whatever's goin' on. A well-written song is a song that stays true to the subject.

I compare myself to a good barn. You can have a good barn, and if you paint it, it looks a little better. But if you take the paint off, it's still a good barn.

I used to try to write a song a day. I've been so busy lately.
