As far as humor goes I've always been a very insecure person and I've always wanted to be liked.

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.

There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times I had some hope.

At home growing up we weren't really poor. We had everything we needed we just didn't have what we wanted.

When I began to make some money I really wanted to have a home.

I got a scholarship to Seattle University and I was writing arrangements for singers and everybody. But the music course was too dry and I really wanted to get away from home.

I'm launching my own festival in South Wales. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. It's going to be held at Margam Park because I wanted the venue to be as close to my home as possible.

I didn't really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go I still come home me.

Of course the Republicans have long wanted to privatize Social Security and destroy it. But Social Security has been the most important and valuable social program in the history of the United States.
