Anyone can look pretty with hair and make-up.

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness.

I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.

I like songs with a lot of heart and feeling and subtlety.

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.
