Valerie June
They're all personal and self-created challenges that I think I've overcome within myself. Being confident enough to get on stage and play, things like that.

I love to read things that have moral messages, and I love to hear stories where it's not just a hook, you have to follow the story, you have to listen to the message of the song, and get it and use it in your everyday life.
Valerie June
Whatever people are doing, they're probably going to be doing it five years from now. You have your banker, your general store runner, the principal of the school, and things of that sort. It's nice to see that, and to get old with other people.
Valerie June
I'm grateful that music has been a place where I've found freedom.
Valerie June
I don't even want to call it God. I just want to call it connecting with something that's greater than I am. So that's the biggest thing from Tennessee - the spirit.
Valerie June
I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I am creating my own practice.
Valerie June
