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

A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else.

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

I love the practicality of a good car. You know what I mean? And when I say 'practicality,' I mean the complete practicality of a Ferrari 458, a wonderfully fantastic every day car.

There's a lot of people I'd like to write with, like Keith Urban or even as far out as Stevie Wonder.

I want to find someone who's really into something like I'm really into something, so that I can support them and we can both cheer each other on. 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.

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