The best advice I've been given is kind of the "dance with the one who brought you" thing. You got here on what you do so don't change that.

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.

The biggest thing is to continue to do what you do. A lot of people, when they get to a certain level, start thinking about it too much and they change what they do.

Everybody always tells you what an awesome and unique experience being a parent is. Words can never do the feeling justice.

There's just a lot of people that hold on to what country means to them. I love fiddle, I love steel, but I don't think it should be a rule that it has to be used in every song. I think that's not what defines or makes country music.

I'm going to do everything I can to keep from being mainstream.

The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity.
