"I was obsessed with country music when I was a kid, and it's definitely had a huge influence on the way I write songs. I was always attracted to songs that had a brilliant pun or a clever turn of phrase, but came from a dark, bitter place. As a writer, I've always gravitated towards that feeling."
"Most artists never get a chance to be Picasso, but that doesn't mean you would stop painting."
"The state of radio is not great. It's like playing the lottery. The chances of hitting are mind boggling slim."
"My career could've been anything, I just wasn't that good at other things. I'd say it was fairly easy starting out as I did in LA, meeting some great friends and musicians and landing a record deal. That's where the hard work began though."
"I come from a place where there's a lot of musical families."
