You know, as any parent will say, you know, life happens.

Elvis was a big influence to my music, but Loretta Lynn was, as well.

There's no way to be able to tell what it's like to be a country singer until you're walking in the shoes.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.

Words are not even within me. They're not in my vocabulary to really express the kind of feeling that I had.

It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later.

Love should be simple, but it's not. Hate should be hard, but it's easy.
