A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where it can be left on its own for a while.

All I'm doing is writing it down and putting it in a cadence. Once I get into a cadence, then why should I even stop and wonder what it is? You can do that for the rest of your life, but when it's coming out, you don't want to stop it.

It's a blue album, but it's not a blues album. I'm not pretending all of a sudden now I'm blues.

Took out Skinny Minnie, Long Tall Sally, and Short Fat Fanny, but I'm kinda fonda Wanda.

My songs speak for themselves. The musicians who play on them and the way they sound and where they were recorded and the way they were recorded is the old Nashville way ... they sound as country or more country than a lot of things that are on country radio.

Earth is a flower and it's pollinating.

It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.
