I'm just a friendly person; that runs in my family.

I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I'm so fair.

I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.

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

If I had to give up performing, it wouldn't bother me too much. But I couldn't live without my writing. I put all my feelings, my very soul, into my writing. I tell the world in my songs things I wouldn't even tell my husband.

Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.

Sevier County is a great area.
