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

The stories that are too personally vulnerable to write are the ones that must be told.

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

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

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 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.

Songs really tend to connect.
