I was into all kinds of music as a teen - country music, because my dad was in a band that played country, and whatever my sister and brother were into.
I started to write a lot of ballads that were sultry and had a Norah Jones-for-country kind of feel. I wanted to bring elements of old soul music and old country music.
The artists in country music who stopped having hits are the ones who were led into something that wasn't them.
There wasn't really a song or artist that made me want to be a singer, I think I was always a fan of country music.
My music comes from country music. Merle Haggard is God, and I do believe that. I'm not too tuned in to country music. I don't know who Brooks and Dunn are. I like Shania Twain, though!
New country music comprises about five percent of what I hear per year. I enjoy it, but I don't really take note of who's singing it or writing it.
I don't want to put my fate in country music fans; I'm too stubborn.
That's the beauty of country music - you have to get out there and earn it and work hard. And when you're on the road with big name acts, you realize there's no easy way to the 'Promised Land' in this business.
I would never do anything that makes the perception of country music worse.
