I won’t give up what I enjoy to look perfect. I want to find a happy medium between feeling good about my body and still having a beer and some barbecue.

I really think that being yourself, being original, being outside the box is starting to be appealing to people.

When you live with someone on the bus, for four days a week, you really have to get along.

I'm really fortunate because, in my career, I haven't had to deal with anybody trying to make me something I'm not.

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.

I also have a different, softer side, and I want for people to hear that.

I have my views and obviously my music has connotations that lean toward what I believe, but I've learned through other artists' mistakes that I'm never going to use my career as a platform for politics, especially at shows. People come to hear music. It's my job to entertain them, and it's my escape too.
