If we're going to go really deep, we're all trying to live forever. My music is my way of doing that.

I have such a deep love for traditional country music.

I don't want to think about what I'm doing in 20 years. All I want is I want to be happy, and I hope my family are healthy. And that's all, really.

I want to make the music that's not there anymore. I'm so passionate about the singing voice... What I'm trying to do actually with my album is show that it's my voice that's leading. It's my voice that's the instrument.

I intend to live forever, or die trying.

I get antsy if a year goes by without doing a play. I don't go to the gym, so this is my way of trying to live longer.
