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

Albums are chapters. They're part of a story.

I am a huge, huge Ronnie Milsap fan. I have been for a long time.

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

I write for myself. I don't write because I have a record coming out. I write because I want to. I need to.

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.

As a new artist - I don't care who you talk to - I think everyone would agree, it's hard to get your expectations right.
