“The marks on our lives are like music notes on the page--they sing a song.”
“In the three minutes it takes the song to play I'm caught in a magic world of harmony and joy, a truly ecstatic joy, where the aching longing to be somewhere else, out of this city, out of this country, out of this body and out of this life, is kept at bay.”
“Renee used to say real life was a bad country song, except bad country songs were believable and real life isn't.”
“Any piece of good music is in essence a love song.”
“I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.”
