My parents told me I must get married. I was seen as a failure if I didn't do it.

You can't really control how people hear stuff. It's hard to remember that. I have to let go of it.

I feel like a quote out of context, withholding the rest so I can be for you what you want to see.

The nature of honesty is that if someone has information or knows something about you that you don't want heard, then they have power over you.

The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.

The less I talk in bars, write emails, express myself in an emotionally lewd way outside of my songwriting, the more I have to do it through my music.

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.
