It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.

Music should be poor. Music should be with out air conditioning. That's just the way it is.

I'd like to thank my parents for always stressing, be an individual.

I don’t have a problem baring my emotions in music. That’s one of the reasons I’m glad to have music in my life. I’m pretty resilient as far as being a human being. A lot of songs write themselves.

The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.

So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.

It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.
