Theres nothing but spirit in music. Thats all it is. Yeah, theres a lot of intellectual elements to it, but no matter how you approach it, its all spirit.

Country artists have advantages all over the place. The radio support is incredible. The fanbase is rabid, all over.

I'm in love with a girl who's in love with the world.

Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.

I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.

I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.

We all need a place that we can go, And feel over the rainbow
