Music really becomes the soundtrack to the major events to your life.

L.A. to me feels like music industry, and Nashville to me feels like music community.

There's a lot of integrity with musicians; you really still aspire to grow, and be great, to be the best version of yourself you can be.

The only person who can save you is you: That going to be the thing that informed the rest of my life.

I feel we are so blessed to live in a country where we enjoy so many rights that other countries cannot even begin to imagine. However, it terrifies me that we seem to have lost touch with our connection to the earth. I am concerned that we have risen to such heights of arrogance in our refusal to acknowledge that our earth is rapidly changing in ways that might affect us catastrophically but instead, we hold steadfast to our belief that nothing can happen to us as a people.

I hate how I've had the mantle set on my shoulders as being against the record label. We've had some issues, but that is the nature of business.

I pride myself on finding balance. I love making music and I love raising my boys - I find time to make both a priority.
