I didn't get into music to become a blues musician, or a country musician. I'm a singer-songwrit er. In my book that means I get to do whatever I want.

I discovered the same thing Gram Parsons did, that soul music and country music are practically identical. Based off of the same chord structures, and the songs are of heartache and loss. The main connection is they both came up in church.

I think a lot of men are afraid of pretty things, and I'm not, I like pretty songs.

I've got a 27-inch waist. Before, I was stupid smaller. Finding clothes in the South was impossible.

On the road, I weigh 168. At home, ten more.

I think that it's the job of the artist to be in transition and constantly learn more.

I know I'm never going to be a big pop star, because I'm not willing to conform.
