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

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.

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.

Finding happiness by delivering it.

The softest thing I've ever heard are the wind chimes in my backyard. They are soft and cool and mellow.

I'm single, I'm looking for something meaningful.

No one has ever abandoned a belief because he was forced to do so.

Many trees have died so that the Catholic Church can preach against homosexuality.

A terrible animal, indeed, is an unbridled woman.

It seems to me a measure of the true perversity of the human race, that one of its very few reliably pleasurable activities should be the subject of so much hysteria and repression.

Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don’t even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I’m being upstaged by a dead pig.

I wouldn't change anything for the world, although the fame part of this [entertainment] industry is tough to handle at times.
