I have two favorite colors - white and yellow. White makes me feel light and airy. Yellow makes me happy.

I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.

When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.

God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.

I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.

I do write a lot of children's songs, and I'm going to do a children's television show, which also means I'll be doing a lot of albums. So I do hope my future will hold a lot of things for children.
