We are absolutely having a blast. For the time being, we're just sort of carrying the dream of our families and friends in Atlanta.
Kristen has decided that she wants to stay home and write songs, and we support her in that decision.
We were talking to each other on the bus the other day, ... And someone said 'Apparently, Sugarland is a big deal ...and we're it'.
We've got the greatest job on earth and we feel lucky every single day. Besides, if you're not a little scared, then what fun is it?
We worked hard for the past two years to make this happen. You have to be convinced that you're going to succeed. It takes focus, and we never believed that it would turn out any differently.
I spent 25 years clearly understanding that I'm not gonna meet Bono or the Edge. But then it happened at the Grammys when we were all backstage and I just about fell out of my shoes.
I've tried to start my kids on 'Doctor Who,' but they're just not there yet. Someone had given me these TARDIS stick-em notes, so I gave them to Tucker, and he finally put them all over his locker. I'm like, 'You're the coolest fifth grader, ever!'
You find your limits by going out and trying. We're just like anybody else in any other job. You just can't work 90 hour weeks. You can't do it. We can't sing seven days a week.
Each kind of generation of bands forgets how they got here. Waylon Jennings came out and they're like, 'That's not Patsy Cline.' And everyone panicked, like, 'I don't know what happened to country music, but this isn't it.'
We're completely and admittedly out of the water here, but that's exciting - that's called living right there,
You can find me in the melodies, the chord progressions, the song style and structure. The lyrical places you fine me most are in the lyrics that 'show' more than 'tell.' I like to describe what the listener is seeing and let them make up the middle rather than telling them.
I have always heard that uber-successful people who write books about how to become uber-successful all have one thing in common: They all meditate every day. I consider yoga my meditation.
I come from a food family, so you would think that I would be great at making baked beans or something, but I'm not.
As soon as I saw tattoos as a way to tell your story, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I totally get it.' So I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago, and it's the word 'hope' on my left arm. It has a couple of dots at the end for each of my kids.
