Don't be daunted. just do your job. continue to show up for your piece of it, whatever that might be. if your job is to dance, do your dance. if the divine, cockeyed genius assigned to your case decides to let some sort of wonderment be glimpsed, for just one moment through your efforts, then 'ole!' and if not, do your dance anyhow. and 'ole!' to you, nonetheless. i believe this and i feel that we must teach it. 'ole!' to you, nonetheless, just for having the sheer human love and stubbornness to keep showing up.

I didn't come to nashville to put on a cowboy hat and pretend to be a country singer. my attraction to nashville as music city is the variety and flexibility: the fact that there's so many musicians at your disposal, so many amazing studios and talented people that you can draw from. ... i try to be myself, but at the same time i'm learning a lot, and i'm pulling from not only from the well of inspiration that i'm getting from nashville, but i'm pulling from my roots.

I was born in paris in the mid-1960s, and by the time i was 12 i had started going to the movies by myself. most of the movies of that period never appealed to me. i didn't like the 'naturalism,' the sad or the 'down-to-earth' characters. what i wanted from film was fantasy, dreams, funny situations, extravagant decor - and beautiful women.
