I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.

I feel like I've kind of gotten to a peaceful place in my heart.

I have my songs ready in my head, gather the guys, play it and then let them go with it. [The music] finds its way, we do what the music says to do......the song is the producer.

I was singing before I could talk.

I don't feel like taking anybody's money.

I am very picky about my people and my beer.

I write about what I know.
