It is better to burn out then fade away

Holding back is so close to stealing.

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.

Learning from other people is what music is all about.

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.

Mothers need to know what they are feeding their children. They need the freedom to make educated choices at the market.

Nothing is perfect...We're really more interested in what we're saying than how we're saying it.
