Excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else, somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself.

I make a living with a song, and I feel honored to do something I love and believe in.

I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.

I was Renee Zellweger's fat doppelganger. If she ever played in a movie where she needed to be fat, apparently I could be her stunt double.

I like pressure. If I am not on the edge of failure, I'm not being sufficiently challenged.

I don't feel like I've changed as much as radio formats have changed.

I've had mentors who were kind of the troubadour singer-songwriters, like Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and that's just what I've always liked - people who would talk real honestly about their lives and their circumstance.
