A dreamer born is a hero bred.

Fool you once, you are forgiven. Fool you twice, you're just a fool.

I grew up listening to everything, and when I got signed to a record deal out of Nashville, that was my introduction to what was happening in country music.

About age ten, we moved from the place where I was born, moved overseas.

I know some artists who come out of country music and the three sessions a day work ethic where you walk in, and you're told you play this note, this note, and this note, and you don't vary it. I know that works great for some people. It wouldn't work for me.

Life is never a straight line - it's peaks and valleys. Why would you want to be the same person every day of your life?

I feel like politics have always informed what I do. If you know anything about my music, you know I've never been shy about stating how I vote.
