We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

I've always wanted to be a real universal artist, one that every type of audience could relate to.

Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.

There are peaks and valleys in anything and that is especially true for the music business. It is very inconsistent. But if you are wise, you can let those downs really bring you to another level of your personality.
