I don't want to be anything other than me.

I am the byproduct of an Ellis Island orgy, basically. I'm everything. I've got quite a mixture in me. I know a lot of it and I don't know some of it. I'm pretty mixed up, but mostly Russian and Irish.

So if I was dating somebody now and the relationship didn't work out, I'd take that as failing

I was introduced to country music around a campfire on a farm.

I miss that sensation of a small achievement feeling like a really big deal.

I may never get my own action figure, but at least I think what I'm doing is really legitimate musically

You can be a singer, and you can be a guitar player, but putting them together is another animal.
