"I think I first realized I wanted to be in country music and be an artist when I was 10. And I started dragging my parents to festivals, and fairs, and karaoke contests, and I did that for about a year before I came to Nashville for the first time. I was 11 and I had this demo CD of me singing Dixie Chicks and Leanne Rimes songs."

All they can do for you is buy you things. But that doesn't put meat on their arms or juice between their legs."
Society
"Whoever uses the spirit that isin him creatively is an artist. Tomake living itself an art, that isthe goal."
