I have had to come to terms with wearing glasses.

I think in the world of rock music or whatever it's called - anything outside of Nashville - there's a lot more freedom within that industry to do whatever you want to do.

You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.

I don't want to beat people over the head with my political views. It's more about the humanitarian aspect of it.

I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.

I don't keep a journal anymore. I did when I was a teenager, but now because I write about it all in my songs, that's what I'm really doing.

I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
