In the course of my life, I've made some happy songs but it's the more sort of like pathos-laden, emotional, melancholic music that either I make or that other people make that really resonates with me.
[Commercial] radio is absolutely the enemy of music. They are my sworn and mortal enemy, and I will have nothing to do with them.
It is people's hearts that move the age.
My heart and soul is still music.
I have "come back" [to music scene] so many times, people are just like, Is this another one?. . . It's kind of like a joke to me now.
Just as a blues player can play 20 blues songs in a row but find a way to make each one different,. . . I always want to find different ways to do something
When I'm given an opportunity with music and goodness, then I want to do that [play that role]. I want to go all the way to the edge of that and make it as big as I can.
I'm really proud to be a woman representing Country music

I wore glasses, no music, and I won - I think it was - fifth place. I got a whipping the same day. My mother whipped me for something. Destroyed my ego completely.

The Strat covers the complete spectrum of human emotion. . the tremolo enables you to do anything - you can hit any note known to mankind
My music should evoke a feeling; whether it's a feeling in your stomach, goosebumps, whatever. When you don't get a feeling then there's a problem.
In any case, once you're dealing on a nonverbal level, ambiguity is unavoidable. But it's the ambiguity of all art, of a fine piece of music or a painting - you don't need written instructions by the composer or painter accompanying such works to 'explain' them. “Explaining” them contributes nothing but a superficial 'cultural' value which has no value except for critics and teachers who have to earn a living.
