When you stand on the stage you must have a sense that you are addressing the whole world, and that what you say is so important the whole world must listen.
In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.
It's nice coming to Nashville, and we have four-bedroom house and a dog, and we go swimming a lot. We get down here and spread out a lot, and I miss my sweet tea and my cornbread and my good southern cooking - but I'm down here eating pretty for two weeks and I'm ready to go back to New York City.
