Scott Yancey Avett Quotes
I was keen on the idea of being famous. From as long as I can remember, I danced around the kitchen. I would dance around and sing and pretend that one day, somebody would break down from the big places and maybe wander over to our house to see if they could borrow our phone. They'd look in the window and see me prancing around and say, 'We found a star!' Beyond that, which is totally a kid dreaming, I was never under any belief that what we were doing was leading toward something. There was never any sort of formula.Scott Yancey Avett The Avett Brothers
