“One of the things I liked so much about the women artists I saw in Nashville was that they were appreciated for their music and their talent, not because they were wearing skimpy outfits and showing a lot of skin.”
“The biggest impact that acting and theater had was, of course, stage presence, but it also had a big impact on my writing.”
“They love soul music in the U.K.”
“I encountered on a regular basis rude comments and sexual innuendo and cat calls and overt sexual propositions in professional settings.”
“Anytime you get attention for something, you want to keep doing it.”
“No one would ever have heard Marcus Hummon's version of 'Cowboy, Take Me Away' if he hadn't recorded it on the Sampler. I would have heard it because I hear him sing all the time, but no one else would have been able to enjoy it, and now they can and will be able to for years.”
“I'd spent a year and a half without a record deal and had been doing a lot of soul-searching, a lot of self-examination and a lot of experimentation in other musical forms.”
“There's nothing better about being a musician than live performing.”
“I have had such a satisfying career; I've gotten to do so many amazing things as an artist.”
“Unfortunately - as I have experienced first-hand, as many artists have - there's a gaping hole between platinum and non-existent. There's no in-between.”
“I went to college to make music and study music.”
“I kept getting these little messages through friends: 'Chuck Cannon thinks you are really cute.' And, 'Would you go out with him?' It was just like high school. It was really funny.”
“I made my living as a theater actor before I got my record deal.”
“As a little girl, I remember thinking how great it was going to be, to be a musician when I grew up, how I was going make a jazz album, then a country album, then a rock album.”
“Getting up in front of an audience is my biggest motivation.”
“Now that I'm married it's hard to be away from my husband, the house, my dog. But I really love being on the road.”
“If things are just gliding along easily and there's no real obstacles or hurdles, those typically aren't my most productive times, personally or professionally.”
