Education is one of the most important tools that you can give somebody.

My world on the road always ends up feeling really small which is ironic because that's when I'm seeing the most places and meeting the most people!

Kids think books are cool, especially when they see that people they think books are cool are reading.

I went from living with my parents, to being signed out of high school. I have never, not had a boss, or someone else responsible for me. It is really cool as an artist to have that freedom.

My family was all musicians. We jam all the time.

Music comes out of me most naturally and would be the hardest to give up forever.

Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.
