I'm grateful that music has been a place where I've found freedom.

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

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

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.

Whatever people are doing, they're probably going to be doing it five years from now. You have your banker, your general store runner, the principal of the school, and things of that sort. It's nice to see that, and to get old with other people.

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 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.
