When I set out to write, I want to write something that will rip your heart out.

I guess we're all one phone call from our knees

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.

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.

Don't apologize for all the tears you've cried, you've been way too strong now for all your life.

Life's too short to stay where we are.

My artistic goal was to write something that's one hundred percent real and true to me and to this world. I tried to touch on truths that really connect with people from every avenue of life. Ultimately, when you write from a vantage point of faith, humility and openness to the world around you, people have to respond because those same truths are instilled in them. Honestly, I don't have any agenda other than being sincere, real, and passionate about these songs and the music I make.
