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

Even though I like looking good - don't get me wrong - but if I don't want to, I don't have to.

They're all personal and self-created challenges that I think I've overcome within myself. Being confident enough to get on stage and play, things like that.

I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.

Sometimes when you're in a more fast-paced place, with more to see and do, you miss out on things like nature and beautiful, God-made things. They call it "God's country"!

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

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.

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

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.

I mean, roots musicians - we can get old, you know? We can get up there and wear overalls and deliver the songs, we don't have to look any certain way.

I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I am creating my own practice.

Don’t waste your time, living other’s dream. Live your dreams. Dare to be you.

Style ain't nothing but keeping the same idea from beginning to end. Everybody got it.

Living from the Creator Orientation is actually more challenging. In the Victim Orientation, I didn't have to exercise conscious choice; I just reacted to my circumstances.

I don't really think of myself as an actor.

I have a lot of mirrors around my house, not because I like to look at myself, but because I like the light and perspective they bring to a room.

I guess I always have sort of general ideas, but the best stuff would be the stuff that comes to you in the moment, always.

I'm not interested in types. I'm interested in archetypes.

As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. He will then see prayer in all action.

Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.

In employing fiction to make truth clear and goodness attractive, we are only following the example which every Christian ought to propose to himself.
