My family is awesome.

I think I find new idols every day - someone that says something really inspiring, is successful, has character.

Texas people are really strong in their roots. I started writing and playing guitar at 17. I've always loved music, and my dad is a singer-songwriter.

Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?

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

Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.

When your roots grow out and things go south, go back to the salon
