My first record deal was an independent record deal back in 1995 or early 1996.

When you find great songs, and somehow you get a spark in a little way, it can become brand new.

For me, I wanted somebody that got me musically, that understood that I'm an artist and this is who I am. I'm not going to be like another artist on your label, probably - hopefully. I found all those things with the Broken Bow group.

I believe in angels. I believe in God.

I enjoy every minute, because there are going to be a lot of moments in your future that you're going to wish you held onto longer.

There's been a lot of really cool stuff that's happened to me throughout my career, and I remember everything, but I don't think I savored every moment of it like I should have or like I do now.

Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.
