I try to write relevant songs about life and whatever I'm going through and whatever people are going through.

Everything about the music industry takes away from you as an artist. They're always wondering what the next thing is: 'What do you have?' It's a very introverted process.

Every storm runs, runs out of rain

When you take other people's opinions, you end up flailing and you have no center.

I think the real problem is that nobody buys albums anymore, so you don't get the depth of the artists that are out today. What you get is whatever they felt is politically correct to get on there and actually make some impact. I think that's where you're losing your depth. You're only getting the very top of everything. It really bothers me.

You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars.

Life aint always beautiful, but its a beautiful ride.
