Every band wants to go believe me, not everybody makes it, but they want to.

I don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.

I don't feel nervous or fearful when I'm on stage.

Country music is completely punk-rock. It's the original punk-rock.

The most tender place in my heart is for strangers. I know it's unkind, but my own blood is much too dangerous.

I should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.

I know that I can sing really loud. It's like having that really big Evinrude engine on the back of your fishing boat. But I've been trying to be more dynamic with my voice and not just singing on ten all of time out of terror.
