On Writing the Track “When I’m Gone”
“I had just gone to my father’s cousin’s funeral…He died unexpectedly. And I just remember sitting in that service and his daughter and his son and his wife and his friends and family all got up and they spoke about his life. And I thought, you know what? They didn’t say a word about his job or how many awards he had or how much money he made. They didn’t talk about any of that. And it stood out to me so much.”
Upcoming Projects
“I’m kind of coming back to writing songs that I love and sharing things that I love, not for any motive other than, ‘Hey, this was on my heart, and I want to share it with you.”
“It doesn’t have to be some fancy thing. I’m just sharing some of the stuff that’s coming out of me right now.”
Reflecting on a Health Scare
“Basically, the doctor told me, ‘If you sing tonight, and you hemorrhage, you’re out for six months…”
“And I was like, ‘Well, that’s not an option.’
Being Compared to Dolly Parton
“It is surreal and it’s strange because I look up to her so much.”
“Ain’t nobody going to fill Dolly’s shoes, Dolly’s bra, Dolly’s personality. Nobody can do it, but Dolly!”
