I wanted to have something that I was proud of and that I knew people would enjoy.

I see a lot of parents now who are really supporting their kids playing music.

My passion is for playing music and although everyone needs a break sometimes just to keep things interesting and fresh, there's no way I would ever give that up.

When you get just that right audience and just that right sound on stage and you can just sit back and kinda just let it happen and it's not really any work. I love those moments. Nothing can beat that for me.

I think my favorite thing is the mystery of life - it makes you feel that much better about accomplishing something.

When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.

Who I am musically I hope will just keep changing and changing.
