And I hate to see artists who are real safe. I love to see artists swing for the fences sometimes.

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

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!

In my office, I have framed album covers by Dottie West, Connie Smith, Tammy, Dolly, Loretta and Jessi Colter.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.

There's no great guitarist that doesn't sit down and listen to Chet Atkins and Eddie Van Halen, and all these other great players.

I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.
