Well, you know, people don't know me as a country artist and I am new to the genre. But that's how I grew up singing.

A professionally trained actress should be a better liar, wouldn't you think? But no. I am pathetically underachieved in that area. I can think of a great lie. I'm plenty imaginative. But before the words are even out of my mouth, there's a weird tickle of unease in my armpits, a horsefly of guilt lands on the back of my neck, and before I can stop myself, that gassy little bubble of truth belches out.

I would love to make an album full of ballads. For a listener, I want to have variety on there.

There might be two or three songs I'm trying out. I've been singing these songs (on the new album) in the studio, but I haven't really done them live. It's intimate to sing them in a studio. Now, I've got to be on a stage and be in front of a lot of people.

I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.

I get joy, and actually, a high... by putting a quarter in a meter.
