If you want to turn on your boyfriend, get naked and strap on an accordion.

You can't be in the public eye without making mistakes and having some regrets and having people analyze everything you do.

Music commands how we feel, dictates what we experience in our feelings.

I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.

It wasn't until I moved to Nashville that I realized what an amazing community it is. It's the thing I've been missing my whole career, the feeling of being able to sit around with a guitar and have people know each other's songs and know songs from people who've influenced all of us. When I moved here pretty early on Vince Gill started calling me to do guitar pulls, and I thought, gosh, this is just like heaven on earth down here.
