There's so much music in Austin, and it's all so different.

When I was growing up, I would go hang out with older guys at night in blues clubs.

I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.

All I can do is do what I can do, and do what I know how to do. I do what I love to do, and that's pretty much it.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

I grew up being a huge fan of Bruce Lee, and this quote always stuck out to me. He said, "Water can flow, or it can crash. If you put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot." It always made sense to me to adapt the flow and roll with whatever the situation is and to not think about it too much and get caught up in it. It works easier for me that way.

Things that I would say or would like to saw are just easier to sing about and put out there in music.
