Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

Society has taught us to suppress certain things and not do certain things.

I love creepy old dudes. I love that they have so much self-confidence, despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up.

Sometimes I have parties at my house in Nashville and it's clothing-optional, and we just body-paint each other and run around, and I have a giant bed. I'm very much in touch with that side of myself.

I was dating a guy once who spoke rudely to a taxi driver. I got out of the cab and walked home. Treat people with respect. I've waited tables, and that's why I just exceedingly overtip. It's exhausting work.

I do love country music.

I went through awkward, chubby, total weirdo phases.
