I don't think I've ever put it in words before. But daddy took a gun and ended his life and took momma's with him.

My drawings are another kind of music for me...they relax me and I think they all connect somehow.

I'd like to thank my parents for always stressing, be an individual.

I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.

I wasn't encouraged to write just stand there and sing and I never thought I was a writer. I always figured if I couldn't write something as good as "He Stopped Loving Her Today," then what's the point?

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

I don't like modern country music. It's not what I'm into, is all. I'm old-school.
