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.

If you're going to be stuck somewhere forever, you might as well be around good people!

I met PJ Harvey when I was in England, and the first thing I want to do when I meet a songwriter I admire is to ask them how do they receive songs.

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.

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

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

My challenges have not been around music. My hardest thing in music was just sitting down and teaching myself how to play and believing in myself.
