Say what you think / Love who you love.

I think a great song appeals to older and younger people and it makes you think. It's also honest, and it also doesn't hurt if it's fun to sing along to.

If I'm not writing about myself, then I sit down with people I really dig writing with and throw 'em out and see if something sticks. Their brain plus mine hopefully will make something interesting and cool and it will just snowball and we'll have a unique song by the end of it.

Im all about small towns. I think its a great place to grow up.

Follow your arrow / Wherever it points.

I used to write poems more when I was younger, but I haven't in a long time. I just write ideas and paragraphs and go from there.

A great song will be great forever - it's timeless and classic in that way.
