I just love music, and I absorbed what I love.

I just let the songs tell me what to do - they are my guides, and they are the boss. So I am subservient to the songs, and I let them tell me what to do. I don't judge them; I just write whatever comes to me.

I'm not really into alternative country - I'm into Patsy Cline, who lived down the street from where I lived, and old Dolly Parton records, Kitty Wells and that old stuff. I like country music. I also like Eric Church, who has a great new sound but also holds onto that old sound.

My music confuses people because they think I will sound a certain way because I look a certain way with the dreads.

I love a man with stubble. It's very sexy.

If I have something inside me that I want to get out, I'll just beat it out on the banjo right then and there.
