I don't describe myself as a Christian or religious, but I like to think that how I live my life is honest.

Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.

I don't describe myself as a Christian or religious, but I like to think that how I live my life is honest.

I was mainly influenced by the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and others like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash.

I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.

I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.
