I lived most of my life in Texas, but I've settled down in Pittsburgh. My husband is from here. We met at a Flyleaf show in Columbus.

I had a song called "Folsom Prison Blues" that was a hit just before "I Walk The Line." And the people in Texas heard about it at the state prison and got to writing me letters asking me to come down there. So I responded and then the warden called me and asked if I would come down and do a show for the prisoners in Texas.

Singing, it's like it's like loving somebody, it's a supreme emotional and physical experience.

Nature is full of infinite reasons which have not yet passed into experience.

Avoid the precepts of those thinkers whose reasoning is not confirmed by experience.

Experience is a truer guide than the words of others.
