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

I don't even want to call it God. I just want to call it connecting with something that's greater than I am. So that's the biggest thing from Tennessee - the spirit.

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!"

The point is to raise your voice and be heard to God. You really are just celebrating being in the presence of other people that believe the same things you believe.

I know a lot of people that don't pray or anything, and that's fine - but I need to. I don't even want to call it prayer, I just want to call it talking to something bigger than me.

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!"

Sometimes when you're in a more fast-paced place, with more to see and do, you miss out on things like nature and beautiful, God-made things. They call it "God's country"!
