I don't like modern country music. It's not what I'm into, is all. I'm old-school.
I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.
I was raised in South Alabama in the woods, y'know? I'm country.
What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.
If you think too much about something, you're not feeling it.
You know, I'm trying to sometimes sit down and write some stories about my childhood and maybe one when I'm an old lady put them out like a book.
I insist on the truth. I surround myself with people who tell the truth.
Sometimes a song that didn't make one record will stay in my head for so long and just won't go away. I take that as a hint to keep 'em close and not forget about them.
I write about what I know.
I've pretty much run the circle of labels and dealing with that whole kind of battle, because you're the one creating the music, but you're not the final say. That's always been hard.
It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.
I don't feel like taking anybody's money.
I just had it with the corporate money, money, money label thing.
I can't write about your pain; I only know my own.
I'm comfortable in my miseries. I have no choice.
It's time for artists to take their music back.
I can't stand too long of a record.
I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.
I don't think I've ever put it in words before. But daddy took a gun and ended his life and took momma's with him.
All I do is party.
