It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.

This is the 21st century, we are a highly evolved race, our capabilities are so great compared to what we are doing. We have been lulled into addiction and everything is built around it and you have to break out of it and think outside of the box.

I like to go in right away as soon as I have things.

People don't normally change when things are going well. But I want to see what's next and keep moving. That keeps things fresh.

My songs speak for themselves. The musicians who play on them and the way they sound and where they were recorded and the way they were recorded is the old Nashville way ... they sound as country or more country than a lot of things that are on country radio.

I go in and sing the song and arrange it and mix it and that's it. It's no different than playing in clubs.

The punches came fast and hard, lying on my back in the school yard.
