When I talk about music in Memphis, it's a place you can go if you are a beginning artist or anywhere in your career, and you can incubate.

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 try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.

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

Amalgamation is a good word that I like to use - musically and in every way.

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.

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!"
