I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.

I'm not really a political-type person, meaning that I don't really make great stands or whatever, but if you ask me a direct question I say it shouldn't matter who you are, whether you're black, white, green, gay, male, female. If you can do a job and do it well you should be paid for it, you should be respected for it, and you have to be responsible. I think sometimes people can go too fare trying to make a point. I think they should just make their point and go on about.

I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.

I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.

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

I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.

I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.
