I listened to country music my whole life. I started writing music when I was a teenager. It all came out country.

It always amazes me when I see young people with raw talent and passion.

What I've noticed about celebrities is, if they are really successful, they're more down-to-earth.

A lot of the music I listen to is indie rock. It's not on the radio.

You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.

I always have plans to return to the stage. I leave myself very open. I think what would be more likely is if I did a limited run of something, whether it be a play or a musical.

I am trying so hard to live in the moment and enjoy it while it's happening, because it feels like a moving freight train that I just got on, and I'm trying not to look back and get dizzy!

I started to write a lot of ballads that were sultry and had a Norah Jones-for-country kind of feel. I wanted to bring elements of old soul music and old country music.

What I loved about country music when I was a kid was the Grand Ole Opry, was Hee Haw, was 360 degrees of entertainment.

Around 14, I was turned on to Shania, Reba, Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood... and I've followed it ever since.

I feel connected to a higher power when I'm making music or performing. There's a spiritual experience for me.

God would light the way. Faith would keep them on the right path.

Being forgiven is like having all the worst bits of yourself stuffed into a balloon and then having that balloon set free.

The only way to find happiness is to make someone happy.

I had a lot of excess skin - I just needed to have it firmed

The painter's appreciation for beauty is more conscious, for he spends his life trying to communicate his feelings to others.

I put the words down and push them a bit.

Although I have started my solo activities but this doesnt mean I'll give up my roots, SS501 is my root .

I have not know a worthy son to whom his mother appeared ugly.

I spent two weeks prancing around a studio in Queens in my underwear with nine other guys. They were long days. But what the hell, it was Calvin Klein.

The technology in making games and in making anime is really similar. There are common concepts.
