As an artist, you just want to keep creating, keep finding a place that really inspires you that feels fresh and new and keep it exciting.

Well, I never made a record to be in the Christian market. So when I made my record it was to exist in all of the markets. I grew up not really listening to tons of Christian music and if I did it was in the context of all the other music I listened to. So when I made the record I definitely had plans and visions and dreams.

I love creating. I am addicted to the drug of creation and creating things. I get a little depressed when I am struggling to find what I know is locked inside. If it's a lyric or something that is challenging me, I can be very depressed, but when it's like heaven opens up and it gives you a song, it's amazing. There's nothing else that I enjoy more probably.

The songs that you start to write that you are a little scared of can be the ones that you have to tell.

I enjoy changing; I think it's more fun to try something different than to just do what you did last time.

I never play all new stuff, because you got to "dance with the girl that brought you" what is that saying? You got to play the songs that got you there, so I love playing the songs from my very first record.

It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be but how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way.
