Someone asked me if I was a method actor - I loved that! I needed to know what it felt like to lose everything just to do the Bad Day video! I could really feel the angst!

I never really know what I'm playing. I just follow what sounds good in my head and keep going.

I realized the more I made the music for myself, the more successful I was becoming.

I think people want to put you in a box and close it away so that it makes them feel better. A lot of musicians get that.

I gave up that idea of trying to make music that I thought other people would want. I just made music for myself and music for people that I knew.

I stayed involved with music my whole life. I was always playing with other people.

I write everything. I have that control issue with my music. That's why I'm not in a band.

I'm learning as I go. The music has drawn me out of my shell. It's made me open my door a little more and be able to look at people in the eye.

I just did whatever it took to keep making music - I slept on couches. You would be amazed at how far $20 can go if you stretch it out.

I was doing stuff that for me was sort of more about playing real music.

Don't tawch meh matherfawker!

I still care about people but it would be so much easier not to care. I don't want to get too close; I don't like to touch things.

I'm a common woman sharing common problems seeking common solutions on a journey with an uncommon Savior.

We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community - and this nation.

I didn't sit down then and start writing poems, but it was in the back of my mind.

A person may be very secretive and yet have no secrets.

Lyrics are so important, I hate every second of writing them, but it's something I take great pride in when it's finished.

I am proud to be a Southerner. I think Southern hospitality is very... I don't think it's just a term. I think it really exists. You can come to Savannah, and the people are so sweet and so nice.

As a professional broadcaster, I can tell you that over the course of my career, there is an adage: don't ever apologize.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you're going to get. You know it's going to be an all-day party.
