We call it drunk philosophy. You have a few beers and you become a lot smarter.

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.

I was on one bus with my band and crew for seven years. I didn't come to town with a karaoke tape. I didn't get on a TV show. There were no shortcuts. Anybody who wants to follow my model is welcome to it. You don't want to follow my path.

There were [in 21] all those times in my life that I didn't know this was going to happen. I didn't know if anybody was going to care about our music.

I've been focused for a long time. I've given my life to do music. I've sacrificed everything.

I truly believe that music is the most powerful thing we have.

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