We were too young to know better, and none of us were very aggressive people. It would have helped a lot if just one of us had been aggressive enough to say no.

But I really love music, and having a creative outlet is really the best thing you can do for yourself.

There's nothing I hate more than nothing. Nothing keeps me up at night. I toss and turn over nothing. Nothing could cause a great big fight.

Becoming a mom made me more contentious about expressing my true taste.

A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old, dirty green car, with the window rolled down, in the hot, hot, hot Texas heat, and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel, looking out at me.

When I'm all alone, nobody else can say goodbye.

It's hard to believe that you're really here, so I just pretend that you're not here.
