There are a lot of murder ballads out there, but most of them are about killing the woman. I was like, "We've gotta turn this around!"

When I talk about music in Memphis, it's a place you can go if you are a beginning artist or anywhere in your career, and you can incubate.

I just have to do prayers and meditation and affirmations to myself as I go throughout the day, and that's the only way I'm able to make it through some days.

When I think about singing, and music, I think about how the people who live on the East Tennessee side have more of a curve or yodel to their voices, and then you think about the curve of mountains.

Even though I like looking good - don't get me wrong - but if I don't want to, I don't have to.

There are so many different versions of "Tennessee Waltz" and they're all so good.

I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.
