If it's a real dream it's uncrushable.

Take your records, take you freedom, take your memories, I dont need 'em. And take your cat, and leave my sweater, cause we've got nothing left to weather.

Being with my family is very important to me, and touring is very important to me, too, because it's who I am. It's what I do.

My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.

If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it right now. I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth. My words might not be magic, but they cut straight to the truth. So if you need a lover and a friend, baby, I'm in.

There's no soul in perfection.

I always wish I'd had more mentors, better mentors, wiser mentors, people who were proper professional working musicians to guide me as I was coming up.
