I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.

There's a lot of personal stuff that can go into songwriting but there's also a lot of dramatization and fictionalization. You have to do that to make a good song.

Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.

I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.

I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.

It's funny how you realize what's important, and it's not fame and money, even though it can be really nice. It's happiness and whatever it takes to make you feel happy.

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.
