had no excuses for the things that we'd done, we were brave, we crazy, we were mostly young.

So yeah, it's nothing that I'm doing on purpose, I just think that the more records, the more songs that I write, the more records that I make, you're obviously going to fall into a specific style and thank God it's a style that people are into.

The beauty is that it's all a part of this wonderful dream I had in college. It's beautiful to see what it's turned into. It's the journey that I'm most proud of.

I love you baby goodnight. There goes my life

Before, I was more concerned with getting on the radio, like many young artists.

I'm uncomfortable with being famous. I hate it. But I love making music. I love getting paid to do it, and I love getting on my boat after I get paid to do it.

Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.
