The first thing I think of when I think about coming to Las Vegas and playing is always Elvis; its always the first thing on my mind.

I love fishing, any kind of fishing.

There is a creator and a redeemer, and the purpose of it all is love.

But now, with the last two years of touring and being on the road, I've learned that a live show should never sound like a record; a record should sound like a live show.

All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.

I hope that somewhere in Small Town, U.S.A., a 15-year-old kid looks to me as a role model the way I looked at the Indigo Girls and Elton John as role models.

I'd love to claim the title of 'songwriter' or 'intellectual,' but the truth is that anything that I ever learned how to do in conjunction with music was purely so that I would have a platform to sing from.
