One of my big fears is people saying my songs are all starting to sound the same.

Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun.

I think Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks would be the coolest duet partners. I look up to them so much for their work ethics.

If you're lucky enough to have something that makes you different, don't ever change.

I wanted us to have a friendly relationship [with Kanye West]. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.

It's not our job to make people like us if they don't.

I've always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm.
