Even the most jingoistic person would have to admit that even American cultural music comes from Europe. That's what classical music is, real European music.
Country music is still your grandpa's music, but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.

The classical music world is so snobbish.
I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.
You can't sustain a fan base on a great catalog alone. You must take your music directly to the people.
It's tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, 'Oh, look, another quirky girl.'
I don't think of anyone as a 'groupie.' People who connect with my music are just inspiring and amazing.
Just knowing that through my music I actually inspire people is amazing for me and I find it very heartwarming.

I'd just like to inspire people to be themselves and do what they want and not conform to the rigid guidelines of the music or entertainment business.
In some of the L.A. clubs, people can act too cool to get into your music. That can get to be a bit much.
We believe in the almighty and we believe in God and that music is from God and we're inspired by God to give messages and ideas to people.
People tell us they have been inspired by our music to do great things.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
The No. 1 thing the people I have spent time with in my life have done for fun is playing music.
