Iowans are super talkative, like me. I'm very talkative. I'm very curious about strangers.

[My ideal] is being able to be outdoors, have a labor intensive life, and then have this other life, where I hop on a plane and go sing to people in Norway.

Whether I'm a hero or a zero doesn't really matter. It's all perception.

I'm very much a homebody so once I have my home set up how I want it, that's my zen, my comfy little nest where I drink my wine and watch my Netflix.

I keep re-watching Friends. It's so dumb. There's so much good TV and I'm really into all of it.

In my 20s, my mom and I went and saw the bridges of Madison County, which are in Iowa, and I had seen that movie with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. I've always done these Iowa road trips. I did this transcendental meditation course in Fairfield, Iowa. So I've known since my early 20s that someday I would buy a farm in Iowa.

For a long time I wanted to be special and to stick out amongst the crowd. Something I yearn for now is to be one of many.
