You have to be happy with who you are and the choices you make. If you don't like yourself, you'll never be truly happy.

I think that as you grow up, as you get older, we can't get bitter, we can't get jaded.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.

I don't like it when people who are young act like they're 40. That's taking too much on. Putting up a shield and trying to act like you're so mature or whatever - I don't try to act mature. Some people might say I'm mature for my age, but it's not something I'm trying to do, you know? I'm just me.

When I'm getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive.

One of the things people don't really recognise about the similarities between country and hip-hop is that they're celebrations of pride in a lifestyle.

A lot of people have pretty little heads, but it's difficult to find a pretty little mind.
