A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.

Performance-wise, you really need to be down in the trenches; you need to do the hard work, for a lot of reasons: To build yourself as a performer, to get a sense of the audience, to work hard and to wonder, 'Do I really want to do this?'

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Make your own victories. Make your own mistakes.

I leave for the show at least an hour ahead, and I do some vocal warm-ups, and that's pretty much it.

Can't break free from the things that you do. I wanna walk, but I run back to you, that's why I hate myself for loving you.

I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook.

I'm not necessarily intimidated by really jocky guys. I can talk football with them, you know what I mean?
