The rule of songwriting: say what you want to say, say it again, say it a different way, then say it again.

All the people I hung out with were musicians.

I don't have a girlfriend. I don't know if I have a type, but I really like girls who are driven. I really care about music, so I like it when a girl really cares about something too. Whatever it is they are into, I'll be their biggest fan.

Thank you to country radio for believing in me.

I always loved LeAnn Rimes and especially Clint Black for his soulfulness. As I've gotten older, my influences have broadened - John Mayer, Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Beatles - all of these artists have somehow been a part of my development as a songwriter.

I'm in my dream world.

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