I guess I have sort of an atypical relationship with my mom for someone my age, because I think I started so young with the music thing and I had my parents always on the road with me. So at a time when I think I should have been rebelling like in high school, they were actually my best friends.

I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess.

I'm my own worst critic, so I try and not focus on what I've done wrong, or what I could improve on.

My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.

I'd say the key to a good relationship is communication .

Marriage is such a mark of adulthood in my mind.

I just thought it would be a fun rush of adrenaline to jump out of a plane three times.
