Nashville was totally different than I ever dreamed. I had only seen the music business on television and been to a couple of concerts. I had no clue. ↗
I think that you have to bear in mind that music is about escape, and it's not unreasonable to think the music business would be based around escapism. ↗
I don't live in as much fear as I used to. I'm not afraid of the music business. Life is too damn short. I know what's important, and the tasks are very clear. ↗
I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound, and knowing the music business the way I do-all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected. ↗
There are peaks and valleys in anything and that is especially true for the music business. It is very inconsistent. But if you are wise, you can let those downs really bring you to another level of your personality. ↗
