I've Been Devoted To Alison Krauss For

She Wasn't That Tough On Me, But I Think She Was Often A Little Frightened - Being A Single Parent. So It Begets This Quality Of Desired Absoluteness That Doesn't Really Exist. My Sister Could Crack Her Up. She'd Be Getting Into Trouble And Put The Steve Martin Arrow Through Her Head And Mom Would Start To Laugh. I Didn't Have The Same Sort Of Wiliness.

I Was Powerless Over My Childhood But The Coping Strategies That I Developed, To Survive, All Of Which Were Creative And Brilliant And Got Me Through, As An Adult Those Became My Defects Of Character. Those Became My Shortcomings, Control And All That Kind Of Stuff... And That's My Responsibility. I Was A Blameless Child In What Happened In The Home; I Take Responsibility For My Behaviors As An Adult.

It's Funny, Though, Because When I First Started Going To Races After We Met, I Was Extremely Nervous. It's Like Being Backstage And Hoping You Don't Trip Over Something Or Break An Amp Or Accidentally Speak Into A Live Microphone, So I Was Really Hesitant.

I Think That [obama] Is A Powerful Leader. I Think He’s A Brilliant Man. I Think That He Has An Incredible Devotion To Our Constitution, And That He Is Now Able To Flower More As The President I Knew He Could Be.

My Vocation Is To Make My Life An Act Of Worship
