I won't let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me.

Promotion and perception are synonymous twins of art marketing.

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.

Every time there's a list of the 100 greatest records of all time, all those albums were recorded in two days. Hardly any of them took a year, I'll tell you. In this day and age, I think it's important that people know that.

Nashville has always felt perfect. I don't think Third Man Records could exist in any other town that I know of in America. Anything smaller or larger than the size of Nashville, and also the music - the attention that's paid to music in that town is sort of the right kind. It's not too hipster and it's not too fake; it's something in the middle, which is really good ground for a place like Third Man Records, that aims to be genre-less. It's great to be able to have that kind of access.

I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial. That seems strange.

My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents.
