I was raised in South Alabama in the woods, y'know? I'm country.
I write about what I know.
I just had it with the corporate money, money, money label thing.
I don’t have a problem baring my emotions in music. That’s one of the reasons I’m glad to have music in my life. I’m pretty resilient as far as being a human being. A lot of songs write themselves.
I'm comfortable in my miseries. I have no choice.
That's what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn't a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren't afraid to stick out.
