I didn't go onto 'The Voice' thinking I was going to go country. I went into it with an open mind and thought whatever happens, happens.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

The hardest thing in the world to open is the mind - and it is most easily opened when you're not trying.

An open mind still has an exit.

Have an open mind - allow different ideas into your way of thinking.

Every human being on the face of the earth has a steel plate in his head, but if you lie down now and then and get still as you can, it will slide open like elevator doors, letting in all the secret thoughts that have been standing around so patiently, pushing the button for a ride to the top. The real troubles in life happen when those hidden doors stay closed for too long.
