I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.

Ten years into it, I can finally go, 'Oh, I just want to make a record that's fun to make and I don't have to prove that I deserve to be here.

I was definitely a choir and theater geek.

It hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time.

I was so adamant about proving myself for so long and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to do that as much.

I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions, whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.

If I have to try and write one more country single, I'll lose my mind.
