It was so draining. Going to parties to rub elbows with so-and-so and act like it's no big deal, when really all I was doing was hoping I'd have the success they had.

I had two cars repossessed, tons of debt. I had a horrible job that was damaging to my soul. After being on three different labels and knowing everyone and hearing yeses and nos and "You're it!" or "You're s - t!" I was depressed. But I never took no for an answer and really believed in myself.

I just like having fun.

I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it's always going to be a part of me. When I'm playing, it's staring right back at me, saying, 'Remember where you came from.'

I can't rate myself, but if you ask Russell I'm sure he'd give me a ten out of ten.

I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith, you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like... why?

I like a good boy, but sometimes you get bored.
