I think most performers are just lazy.

I don't understand how a musician can play 90 minutes on stage and then not dedicate a little bit of time to hang out at their merch table. It's not like digging a ditch or something; you're standing there thanking people for coming out to see you.

I would rather have 100,000 fans for a lifetime than a million for a couple years.

I want to keep my fan base supplied with a steady chain of music.

I'll work to maintain my work ethic out on the road, playing my shows, giving 110%, keeping God first, my family second, and treating my fans like royalty.

I put everything in God's hands, asking him to give me strength and understanding. I asked him to help me to be strong for my family and that he would continue to take care of us. One day, shortly after that, I woke up really inspired.

I keep a pretty tight grip on my schedule and I compare it a lot to a fireman's - a four-on then four-off type of deal.
