I spend a lot of time balancing between faith and disbelief.

My dad is adorably optimistic, positive, pie-in-the-sky. He thinks every new song I write is my best. He sells T-shirts at my merchandise stands and hands out guitar picks to fans.

Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

I don't like to feel like I'm in a club when I'm in my car and I turn on the radio. Anything that ceases to be a song and just sounds like house music kind of stresses me out.

I think that what people always want is what they don't have a lot of...

A song is a favorite song, not because the singer can hit and hold a high note, but because of the words, their meaning.

Spending a lot of time alone, gave me a lot of time to think. A lot of time to think gave me the time to write songs.
