My dad said 'When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,' and I agree with that.

I'm very shy and awkward. I think the best thing is to embrace it. It's about accepting who you are and what you want to become and knowing all that you've got to work with, whether it's good or bad. My music was the only place I could be me for the longest time.

I believe when you meet the right person it clicks, and you both know and you start making it work, you know?

I'm a nerd. Total geek. I never went to homecoming or prom or anything.

I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.

Robert Duvall saw me playing at a restaurant in Louisiana and invited me to be an extra in his movie 'The Apostle.' He gave me a guitar for my sixth birthday, and I thought that was the coolest thing in the world.

I don't even have a type, I don't think. My type is just whoever can get along with me.
