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.

I am a Christian and I don't want there to be any confusion about what I believe or who I am.

I had to cut a lot of things I wanted to keep [in The Art of Elegance]. I'm going to have to do a part two for sure.

Making fun of anyone's size, height, scarring, anything like that equals dumb.

We sing because we can't speak anymore.

As far as what made it on there [The Art of Elegance record], it was tough. It's probably one or two songs too long, but I just couldn't (cut any more). That's what I ended up with. I'm really proud of it.

I want to eat good Italian food and get better at their language. It seems so romantic too.
