“I really do think that in life, people just want to talk about their problems. In particular, Irish people and English people don't really have an avenue to do that.”

“I don't think I had any conscious decision in my love of country music. It was more subconscious, and I think with art in general, I try to follow and listen and read and watch what I like and figure out why I like it afterwards.”

“Everything we do as people - not to get philosophical - but there is no pure-bred creativity. Everything is derived from influence and references.”

“Whatever avenue I feel like I can make a difference in, I'd love to do.”

“The Veteran's History Project, a nationwide volunteer effort to collect oral histories from America's war veterans, provides an avenue to do just that. Now in its fifth year, the Project has collected more than 40,000 individual stories.”

“And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.”
