People are born with the knack to write poems and songs. I'm not a poet at all.

My grandparents on my mom's side played in a mandolin orchestra. So when I hear mandolins, I automatically think of them.

I always related my favorite music to the movies.

Our dad played us a lot of old country songs by The Carter Family and he would sing along to it. I loved listening to him sing.

Harmony has always come very natural to us because we started singing harmony at an early age. We heard a lot of different music growing up.

People want to hear clean sounds; they don't want to hear coughing in the background, pages turning.

I played violin from when I was about eight to thirteen, so I could read a little bit, but if you put a piece of music in front of me now, I would probably know the notes, but not the timing, how they're supposed to be played, and I just don't know how to read chords. If I'd stuck with it, I'd probably have more jobs.
