I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.

You know, what we do know is that there is a high frequency of violence in the home of those who bully.

Art hurts. Art urges voyages - and it is easier to stay at home.

Social topics may hit too close to home for people, but then again, if you pull a heartstring, then that's what country music is. It's not just songs about getting drunk and leaving your girl.

I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere.

I think that the reason for my success is that I am really not aspirational. I am inspirational in that the people at home feel like they can really relate to me.

I am not suggesting that all those missionary organizations working in Haiti should pack up and go home, but I am urging them to understand that Haiti does not need clever Americans with newly contrived schemes for saving their country.

Before I had kids I'd go out on the road for months and months at a time, but now I don't think I'd want to do that anymore, because I'd miss too much time at home, so it's just a matter of monitoring how much work that I do and how much time I'm on the road.

These days, you have the option of staying home, blogging in your underwear, and not having your words mangled. I think I like the direction things are headed.

After hundreds of auditions and nothing, you're sitting home and wondering, 'What am I doing?'
