The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.

I've always been the high harmony singer. It's never my job to know the verses! But I know the chorus of every song ever made.

I don't chase what everyone else is looking for. Being creative is all about you.

I formally proposed. I'm a good Southern gentleman.

It would be fun to go back and see where all my songs stopped, because I think I'd have every number in the top 100. It never ceases to amaze me. It still hurts when one doesn't work, because you put your heart and soul into it.

You learn a whole lot more about a person if they have bad breaks and all those kind of things.

We all get caught up in the process, especially when you have a wave of success. But to me, being creative is not about rehashing everything you've done over and over. It's to continue to grow, continue to get better.
