The Purpose Of It All Is Love.

I Didn't Get Bullied Any More Than Anybody Else. I Think I Got Bullied More For Being Poor Than Being Gay. But No More Than Any Other Kid. And I'm Sure That I Did My Fair Share Of Picking On Other Kids, Too. We're All Humans.

I Tend To Feel Really Protective Of Songs, And If They Aren't Sitting Well In A Record, I'll Pull Them Tight To My Chest Until I Feel It's A Better Time.

I Tend To Support And Get Behind Issues Instead Of Candidates, Because Of The Whole 'super Bowl' Generalization Of Our World - You're On This Side, I'm On That Side; You're A Republican, I'm A Democrat; You're Country Music, I'm Rock Music.

Bear The Burdens Of Others, But Don't Put Them In Your Pocket Too.

My Mother's A Singer And My Mother's Father Is A Singer, And Everyone On Both Sides Are All Country-western Bluegrass Musicians.
