I'm not planning to jump off a bridge with no bungee.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

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

For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.

I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.

I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.

People think I'm really melancholy and romantic and all whispery. I'm not at all. I'm very direct.
