There’s a spiritual current in my work because there’s a spiritual current in my life.

Holy is the dish and drain, the soap and sink, and the cup and plate and the warm wool socks, and the cold white tile, showerheads and good dry towelsand frying eggs sound like psalms, with bits of salt measured in my palm. It’s all a part of a sacrament, as holy as a day is spent...

Something good happened to my writing when I stopped being afraid to do something simple, for the fear that people might think I couldn’t do something more complex. Don’t be confused by the word simple. Simple is not easy, it is clear voiced, and fearlessly elegant.

I play churches and I play bars and I don't change my show. There's a spiritual current in my work because there's a spiritual current in my life. That puts me in a folk category instead of pop, but I don't censor myself. My music is very inclusive and progressive.

I love to return to places where I've had good experiences. I enjoyed coming to Murray State, and I'm glad to come back.

It's been a wonderful way to talk about a lot of different human experiences and issues. I'm very much a storyteller.

If I could turn down the noise of my own will and choiceI could hear the truth of my life in a clear voice. I will bow down my head to the wisdom of my heart...

Never doubt or question the power of love or one woman with a shovel.
