I'm not a trust-fund type.

Man, if anybody knew the path that we've been on, no one in their right mind would ever try to duplicate it. That's something Nashville always tries to do, though. If something is successful, they try to repeat it by telling other people, "Hey, do what that guy did." I just don't think it works that way. The first one who gest there, the one that cuts the path ... it's always the roughest path but I think it's got the most reward at the end.

When I feel like every day when I get up I'm writing songs, that's the time to make a record.

I've played shows with injuries before but unfortunately cannot overcome having no voice.

The evolution of the music is what allows it to survive.

The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.
