Penitentiary songs have been a love of mine for years. They are so wonderful.

The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.

I don't like the compression on compact discs. It's lacking in air, and it's lacking in majesty.

I shoot my big mouth off; it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.

Relationships have a nasty habit of reversing themselves; whatever has been done to you in a previous involvement you'll do to the next person you're involved with, if you get half a chance.

I've got quite a good brain and all that, which I've never had to use in singing at all.

If I let myself sink into depression, I won't be able to get out. And then I'll be awfully unhappy. I just have to turn my face to the light and walk on. And trust that things will be all right.
