not only misrepresent(ed) the extent of my illness but also the treatment involved.
A simple smile, a tender touch, speaks the true language of love.
I'm affected by my environment. Los Angeles makes me defensive and wary.
I wanted to pay tribute to my musical influences: Buffalo Springfield, Lightfoot, the Beatles, the Hollies.
I kinda threw the spotlight away from me for a little while.
I feel it right down in my stomach when I'm in touch with something. I don't know what it is.
Tennessee helps me open up. I'm much more vulnerable there, more willing to talk about anything.
People who listen to my records expect the ballads from me. The rock 'n roll is on there because it's another mode of expression.
Longer is not my best song, it's just a classic love song, and every songwriter always dreams of writing a classic love song.
Balance the cost of the soul you lost with the dreams you lightly sold.
It was so much fun playing simple American bluegrass. I got to meet Doc Watson.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow, burning lines in the book of our lives. Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow, I'll be in love with you.
In the time it takes us to look beyond the lies, we could be sailing in each other's eyes.
