I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.

What was nice for me was not knowing anything about music and not being a singer or player and kind of discovering what that was like instead of having a set way of doing things.

I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.

June Carter had a long heritage of just being the spokesperson for country music and the face of country music.

She [Shania Twain] brought a whole other fan base to country music with her sound, the way the videos were produced.

Country music is still your grandpa's music, but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.
