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.

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!"

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

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.

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

I've always kind of been in the middle of every room, trying to get people together, no matter what color they were.
