when life gives you lemons. Make yourself a screwdriver

I always like story songs, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall, Mel Tillis, Red Stegall, when they'd do their story songs. I was totally enthralled.

It's very important to surround yourself with people you can learn from.

I've never really done this. Now I know what scared is.

You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.

I'm open to any kind of situation in a song as long as it touches my heart.

I just feel like the people who are discouraged about religion, it's [really] the connotation of people that go to church. People that go to church love the Lord and they like to be around people who love the Lord. It's a fellowship and it's a growth and it's a feeding for them that when they're in a social group of people who believe, it makes them grow spiritually.
