Life is what you make of it. Don't make excuses - make it happen.

I don't think people are going to come down to Texas and see every person riding in a candy car or every person sipping syrup. But, for the most part, people got a lot of the stuff right, talking about the screwed music scene.

What's life if you're not enjoying it?

When I get home and turn on the radio, I hear songs that are new to me, but to everybody else they're old. I try to keep the music fresh in my head.

When I'm riding in a car, I don't really listen to music. I turn the radio off and just be thinking, brainstorming. I'm one of these people that just like to brainstorm.

I couldn't make every song about Texas because it wouldn't be new; it wouldn't be a breath of fresh air.

If you go down to Texas, people are real proud about and they rep Texas.
