Someone like John Prine can write a song that tears into your soul, turn it over, and write a song that makes you laugh and feel light as a feather. With someone like him, you're getting a real picture of a person, a real expression.

We have to continue to grow within and outwardly. We have to keep going.

One of the things that I love about painting is that I never consider myself to have an audience.

Sometimes I'm extremely afraid of the unknown, but I'm so grateful to be on that journey.

If humor is not present, I tend to be concerned about the artist, or distrusting of what they're presenting - unless there is an obvious tragedy being talked about.

When it comes to performing and entertaining, the art removes itself from the writing.

I have always considered myself an artist and painting was the first medium that I claimed.
