Most of the stuff that I do talk about, about being counted out and being an underdog, 'cause that's what I feel like I am.

I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

There is a thread connecting you no matter how far away you are from someone and you know I have two or three relationships in my life that are like that.

I'm doing quite a lot of painting on stones - little funny fish and animals.

In college, I thought I wanted to be solely an artist, and then when I got here, to college, I was like, "Okay, well I want to be a songwriter," 'cause it was like close to Nashville.

I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.

I think that most art is asking a question or is looking for something, looking for answers and that is what life seems to be about for most people.
