I have my own biography of Gram Parsons - I don't want to be part of somebody else's.

I'm so grateful that I'm able to do something about this passion that I have for shelter animals. In a strange way, it completes me. It means so much to me and makes me feel like I'm truly making a difference.

There's a certain grace in accepting what your life is and embracing all the good things that have been - but there's still an expectation of good things to come. Not necessarily what you expected.

A good song deals with the human condition, and the truth of the human condition.

As anyone who goes into dog-rescue knows, it is not a for-profit business, but the rewards are priceless for me.

I really believe that we have a responsibility, almost a sacred responsibility, to the animals that share this planet with us.
