“When I'd tell people I like country music they'd get this look on their faces. People were kind of ashamed of country.”

“Once in a while I get inspired and finish my act with the hillbilly hoedown.”

“I'm proud of being part Cherokee, and I think it's time all us Indians felt the same way.”

“I'm not ashamed of any work I do. You can't decide a film's fate before its release. There's no surety that your new films will be better or worse than your previous ones. You can only hope to surpass your efforts.”

“I'm not ashamed of my social media following, my Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoot, or the tough time I had in my LPGA debut, but these small facets of my life are easily manipulated by the Internet to get views, and they don't define me as a person.”

“There was a time when pop music and rock music were really reaching for the stars and were not ashamed to be experimental. You think of a song like 'Shout' by Tears for Fears. That's a massive global No. 1 hit, and yet the subject matter is very dark.”
