Longer is not my best song, it's just a classic love song, and every songwriter always dreams of writing a classic love song.

My upbringing made me think that real legitimate music is written, not heard

Now is the only thing that exists.

Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival, and one day we'll all understand.

As we hang beneath the heavens, and we hover over hell, our hearts become the instruments we learn to play so well.

My grandfather gave me my first guitar, an old acoustic with palm trees and dancing girls painted on it

I've been writing a lot of country music again. I've written some bluegrass material. I'm having a good time doing that.
