We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner?'

I think I don't sing as hard as I used to sing. I used to kind of hit the accelerator a lot back in my youth, but now it's just being able to control it, and not work it so hard and use more of an emotional or sub textual kind of approach to singing.

I grew up in cattle country-that's why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.

Country music was a part of my life. Now it isn't. We had a good relationship, really, but we wanted each other at arm's length. The people in Nashville didn't want to be responsible for my looks or my actions. But they sure did like the listeners I brought.

I believe in monogamy if that's what a couple decides upon together, but it all depends on the personal history and culture of the two involved.

I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it's controlling you it doesn't feel good at all.

Traveling renews you.
