I admire this town a lot. They take care of their own. There's not a lot of places in the world, much less America, that do that. It's just a great place.

You cannot make a difference unless you're different.

I like to play golf. I like to shoot hoops.

I grew up in Tennessee where you either play football or you don't do anything at all. So I was a bit of loner, being interested in music.

I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people.

As time goes by people will see who I am for who I am.

I was very shy as a kid but when I found out I could perform and have people's attention everything changed for me. My mom likes to joke that until I was eight or nine I only knew what my sneakers looked like because I constantly walked around with my head down. But all of a sudden the stage made sense and that's what brought me out of my shell and a monster was created.
