If I ever did cross over I would like to do it tactfully. I don’t want to offend anyone in country. Can you have the best of both worlds? I sure like the idea of it!

I’m an entertainer. If people are paying good money for tickets they deserve the best show they can see. I don’t get into lighting stuff on fire, but I do believe in going the extra mile.

It’s almost scary how good things are right now. I’ve been engaged now for about a year, and it’s the first time anything like that has happened to me.

I grew up with all kinds ofmusic, but my heart was particularly drawn to Country Music because of the guitar playing, the lyrics and of artists like Steve Warner and Vince Gill.

I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you’re born to make commercial music that’s cool. But if you’re born to not make commercial records, maybe you’re meant to cater to another market.

What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.

Both of my parents were musicians.
