I'm a country boy. I'm from Georgia.
Georgia is not just a European country but one of the most ancient European countries.
I grew up partially around Stone Mountain Georgia and in that part of the country there was always this aura of mythology and palpable sense of otherness about being a Southerner.
I think there are three main values which are fundamental: that Georgia will never be a criminal country that Georgia will never return to corruption and that Georgia will be independent.
I grew up kind of in the country in western Georgia. And then I moved a lot closer to Atlanta and I started doing plays and when I started doing film I think I really started to love it.
Anyone who doesn't feel the crosses simply doesn't get that country.
I started singing on the radio in Los Angeles. I sang blues but I would tend toward country blues.
It was all so far away - there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.
I used to have a pony but I outgrew it and I do dream that one day I will live in the country and have lots of horses and be like a proper English lady who goes hunting and everything.
A small country like Georgia has little influence on conflicts that must be resolved at the global level.
I lived in Alabama and Georgia and the people in the south are wonderful. It's God faith family country.
