When you're a kid, you listen to what your family is listening to. For my family, it was bluegrass.

I wouldn't call myself a woman in bluegrass. I haven't really been a part of the world for a while. It's just been a big influence on who I am today.

Thank you for a wonderful night. Your carriage awaits downstairs. -Oliver

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones you can't get on your own.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.

Sometimes you don’t just want to risk making mistakes; you actually want to make them - if only to give you something clear and detailed to fix.

But we may go further, and affirm most truly, that it is a mere and miserable solitude to want true friends; without which the world is but a wilderness.

It is not the hearing that improves life, but the listening.

I tried to be the leader ... that was my aim. But it is important to know how to win and how to lose.
