Anytime I sing the anthem, it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.

My path is exactly where I want it to be. I'm doing my thing. I'm getting better with every album.

I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.

You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.

You get weird, funny requests on Twitter. With our fan club, I was seeing a lot of fans were having some issue with the way the fan club tickets were being handled in one of the shows. So I was able to correspond with that fan, and be like, 'Listen, we'll be on it.'

My first memories of music were country music and Ronnie Milsap. Where I grew up, it was what you listened to. And anything else, you were somewhat out of place.
