I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.

Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.

I have a confession to make - I truly love country music.

I love country music, always have and always will.

I was sort of in denial about doing country for awhile but I sort of grew up and realized who I was, what I wanted to say. I think country music is the best music in the world and I'm glad to be doing a country album. I hope people will love it as much as I loved making it.

Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.

I have always been infatuated with country music. Country music tells stories, and I've always loved to tell stories. I said that when I establish myself as an artist that can do pretty much anything I want to do in music, I'm going to make a country album.

I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.

That internal ache is the starting point of country music. If it's a happy song and I can still feel sad in it? That's my favorite.

I've always listened to and loved country music ever since I was a kid.
