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

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

I think it's funny how people get confused when they think about church music, because a lot of times there is a soloist who stands out, but my church wasn't like that at all.

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.

As I try to get around with a guitar, a banjo and a suitcase of high heels and dresses, I treasure that little ukulele.
