All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.
I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.
I'm more private than people realize. I'm not that easy to get to know.
I'm never at my best on television. There's a row of cameras between you and the audience, and it's very weird, very confusing.
If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it's a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.
Putting a stamp on things just helps you say, 'Hey, yesterday I was there, and today I'm here.' It's another step forward, and it feels like another turning point and an unleashing of creativity, and now I'm going to start focusing on the show and the production, the fun stuff that comes with it.
It's important to give it all you have while you have the chance.
I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that's making me successful.
My voice is stronger today than ever.
One day, someone said to me, 'Do you want to go jump out of an airplane?' I felt like I had nothing to lose anymore, so I said, 'Why not?' And every day since then, I ask myself that question.
I'll always be sad that my marriage ended.
I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.
It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.
