Anything that I'm doing I'm writing specifically for a particular project.

A gentleman never talks about his tailor.

The way I take in the world is by seeing it; that is very much evident in the songs that I write.

At some point you start seeing the difference between what you really want, and what is your priority order. I feel that today I know what I want. That's the problem with perspective, as well as focus and concentration.

No fish can swim until the King is born, until the King is born in Tupelo.

My music has to do with beauty, and it's intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.
