“Adolescence in our culture for a young woman, for a girl, is a hard ro...” — Rodney Crowell Quote

“Adolescence in our culture for a young woman, for a girl, is a hard road.”

“I think, in the middle of the '90s, I made a couple of records where I tried to figure out what I thought the radio wanted from me. They weren't my best records by any stretch of the imagination. It didn't take me too long to figure out, 'Whoa, back up, dude. Just go back to following your heart, and it will all be OK.'”

“When I go back to seek inspiration - whether it be from Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, the Beatles, Hank Williams, Ray Charles or Bob Dylan - it's from the performance. Those artists are in the studio playing their instrument and singing. There's no going back and redoing the vocals.”

“I remember myself at 10 years old telling stories to my sisters and brother. This is something I did through my adolescence and even through my twenties.”

“What adolescence is about is by trial and error, honing a frontal cortex that is going to be more optimal by the time you're 25.”

“I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces.”
