I started playing piano when I was 6, ukulele at 7.

I feel the audience are friends that have come to see us. That was always how we look on it in the Carter Family. I've never suffered stage fright.

There are no rules when it comes to songwriting, so I'd turn Carter family songs from the 1930s into pop songs.

I'm pretty much an open book.

My mother has always been open about all kinds of music and entertainment. She wanted us to see that it was not just country music and the Grand Ole Opry.
