I haven't always been the guy that walks into a room and automatically the attention is on me. I'm normally the guy that stands off in the corner.

It's hard sometimes to capture magic when it comes to live records.

I came from a rural background, and I didn't come in contact with a lot of wealthy people.

Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too.

I've listened to a lot of outside stuff and just haven't really heard anything that moves me. I don't know if I'm getting old and crotchety or what.

I grew up going to a real small missionary baptist church. We would sing a lot of the old standards... the hymns and everything. Those songs are still my favorite and are pretty timeless.

I play basketball all the time. Me and my band play every week on the road. That's something that I've never really given up since high school.
