I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not.

I don't write on tour. There is so much to do day in and day out when you are on the road.

I was born in Alabama and my first live music experiences were in church. Every Sunday we watched regional gospel groups on television singing their hearts out

I like being on the road, living in hotels. While I've got a real nice house, I go crazy when I'm there.

I don't like looking back.

As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member

If I have an idea, I write it down, although I usually carry a little dictation machine with me because I'm too lazy to write
