  • Fagan Quotes

    1. "God has always given me a pot of gold. I think there’s a reason for it all. And I guess my being naive helped me to succeed in Nashville. I didn’t know it at the time, but my timing was great."
    2. "I think that I’m kind of high strung and buggy, and humor lets that come out in a good way. That’s what makes me be all right and not some nut. Besides, I like being irreverent."
