I lived an idyllic 'Huckleberry Finn' life in a tiny town. Climbing trees. Tagging after brothers. Happy. Barefoot on my pony. It was 'To Kill a Mockingbird'-esque.

I listened to that voice inside me-... Everyone has an inner voice; you just have to listen to it and trust it in order to be led by it. I did that, and it gave me the ability to live a life that's true to who I am and what I really wanted.

I may be ignorant but I ain't stupid!

Banana Splits for Breakfast. I think I ate about five.

You know, I don’t know what the future will bring, but I’m ready for whatever comes!

Most things in my life I had before leaving home. Values, support, great family. I was shaped at an early age. A musician playing guitar, I wanted to be a folk singer.

But you finally think, there is what there is, and you have to work within those confines and just keep chipping away at your own work.
