I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others. – Deana Carter
I wanted this album to sound like a big crocheted blanket – to be warm yet to have a lot of space. – Deana Carter
I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It’s all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life. – Deana Carter

I’m sure every song has some kind of undertone of what I was going through with Chris. It was my life. – Deana Carter

I’m a big fan of ’70s records where artists could draw on whatever influences they wanted. – Deana Carter
The songs come from a vulnerable place, but expressing that part of yourself can also make you feel fearless. – Deana Carter
