I've always been one of those people - once I start something, I have to get it all out, because it gets me.

When I first came out, country wouldn't touch me because I was way too rock, and rock wouldn't touch me because I was definitely country.

If someone asked me to do something I didn't want to do or didn't think was right, I wouldn't do it.

Grandma and Mama showed me that you always have to give as much as you can, no matter what.

I always have to just be myself. Anything else, I'm not happy, and it comes out musically.

Whenever I get to a point I'm so tired that I forgot the verse of a song, I know I'm burnt out.
