I must stay true to myself and take my own path all the way.

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

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.

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.

Just a single cord is enough to be tangled

Hope was like frogs praying for wings so they didn't bump their asses when they hopped

It is difficult to keep quiet if you have nothing to do

We all have a face that we hide away forever, and we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.

I don't see pitches down the middle anymore - not even in batting practice.

I believe it is the responsibility of every generation to reach their generation for Christ.

See how ye Pharisee in the Temple stands, And justifies himself with lifted hands. Whilst ye poor publican with downcast eyes, Conscious of guilt to God for mercy cries.

I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before.

At the end of every diet, the path curves back to the trough.

When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.
