The music business is a weird business. Sometimes licensing doesn't happen because some business component that you never knew about stops it.

Because I write very simply, but inside the simplicity, there's a lot of subtlety. That's what I'm proud of.

A lot of 18-year-olds are like old men. They think they've seen everything.

I don't leave my neighborhood. I don't go anywhere. There are four blocks I live in and there are two coffee shops, one at each end of the block... so I don't do much driving... Some people would say they never see me because I don't go anywhere. I stay in the blue state of Nashville, in my bubble.

Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone... than I ever have before.
