says:
"Ever since I can remember, I was always looking for an audience.
I'm pretty sure it was annoying to my siblings, but they made
good use of it in time. My older sister would prank call houses
on weekends, telling the person who answered the phone that
her sister wants to be a singer and would you please listen
to her and tell us what you think? And I unquestioningly would
take hold of the phone and belt out "America the Beautiful"
or some other patriotic song I learned in kindergarten. I
don't remember what kind of responses we got, or if anyone
actually stayed on the phone to listen, but I'm pretty sure
I enjoyed it."

Cash, Bill Monroe, Patty Loveless, Dolly Parton, The Eagles.
On
Performing:
"I am most comfortable when I am on stage. It's there that
I feel I'm exactly where I am supposed to be. I'm at my most
honest and least contrived. That's probably not healthy, but
it's the truth."
On
Songwriting:
"Whether I'm writing from personal experience, or about someone
I've met, or I'm just making something up, each song is its
own drama, each performance is another life. I love that.
I'm not good with heart-to-heart conversations. But with a
song, I can tell you everything."
Proudest
Moment:
Winning Christian Song of the Year in the 2003 Great American
Song Contest with a song that I wrote called "Daddy's Arms,"
based on a real life experience with my dad.
