All the people I hung out with were musicians.

I don't believe in making a record and rushing it.

Any time I write a new song, I am jazzed about it for like 24 hours and then I am over it and want to write another one.

I hope people half my age and twice my age will listen to my music - I want it to live forever and for my audience to feel like they have a friend in my music. Music is a spirit. It heals. It's an amazing thing to be loved and appreciated, and sometimes, music has not just been my best friend, it's been my only friend.

Singing live is my favorite. When people sing along to your songs, the circle is complete.

I've got some crazy, stupid big goals. I really wanna headline arenas. I wanna have such a big crew that we've got to have 20 or 30 buses on the road because that's how big the show we're putting on is.

Anytime I can go fly for a few hours, I go. It's stressful and stress-relieving at the same time.
