I didn't just want to put something out that I wasn't satisfied with.

I'm glad I've learned what I've learned when I learned it.

You know, being able to, in my mind, have a song that you know doesn't really have any loose ends or you know, extra fat in it, so to speak.

I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.

I've probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever.

If you get raised up having everything you want and then get put out in the world and try to live your own life, you've never had anything to train you how to live.

I've been in fortunate position of never really having to battle with my record company to do the things I wanted to do in the studio.
