The one who actually decided that I should keep my name was my manager, Erv Woolsey.

And to me, I had come out of Texas, and during that time was when I realized that a lot of people in Nashville, their idea of what country music was was not the same as mine.

I'm the most low-maintenance person on the road.

I think it is very important in this business to be an individual

I love my little Mac G4 computer and we just had Internet installed on the bus... we all have little Macs actually, there's four of us on the bus, and we all just sit there and surf the Internet!

I came to town thinking that everybody had the same idea of what country music was that I did.

I don't go out that much anymore, unfortunately. I used to enjoy it, but I'm just so busy. Like last night, everybody else went out, and I just went straight home and went to bed.
