If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all.

I've learned a lot about my voice, and about things I can do with it. Maybe that's why my sound has become a little more pop.

I guess we guess our way through life. How many times do we really know for sure?

I think I'm no different from any artist in music. At least once, you want to see your name up on the top.

Being born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in the very rural parts of Kansas led me to believe that everything was simple, everything made sense and that anything was possible.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.

All I ever wanted to do was write songs and get on a bus and go play them for people.
