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

"Spirituality comes from questioning everything but at the same time accepting everything. You can even be spiritual watching TV. When the ad comes on and says, "Don't hate me because I am beautiful," question that."

I never get tired of exploring Americana or country music, and I always have a little bit of a crooner in me that never seems to go away.

I'm a singer and as long as I can sing - which, thank God, is something that I still seem to be able to do - I'd like to carry on making records.

I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.

I think that the older I get and the more comfortable I get with myself, the more I realize that art is about relinquishing control of your emotions and being vulnerable and innocent.

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.
