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!"

I must stay true to myself and take my own path all the way.

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.

If you want to get broken in good, put four girls on the road together in a van and tour up and down the country.

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.

I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, "You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here!" And Memphis is like, "Well, you'll get there one day!"

Memphis held onto me until I was far enough along in my art and then it let me go.
