Every single one of us has a few months here or there that feel like dark months.
I base a lot of decisions on my gut, and going with an independent label was a good one.
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we’re 22...
I love my fans, I could not be able to do it without you and I would not be here.
I really believe we in the music industry can work together to find a way to bond technology with integrity and just really hope we can teach the younger generation the value of investment in music rather than the ephemeral consumption of it.
I don’t want people to think of me as sexy.
I don’t think I’d ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.
I don’t live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free.
I don’t like to feel like I’m some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.
I didn’t know what a stockbroker was when I was eight, but I would just tell everybody that’s what I was going to be.
I can say I’d honestly rather be happy than have 30 to 40 songs that I’ve written about these thrilling, exciting, horrible, unhappy times.
When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they’re part of a family, not just a tour.
I think Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks would be the coolest duet partners. I look up to them so much for their work ethics.
I never write about the road. I never write about hotels or anything like that.
I love the ending of a movie where two people end up together. Preferably if there’s rain and an airport or running or a confession of love.
I’m always afraid of failing. I have to quiet that fear if I’m going to get up in the morning.
I’m interested in Jackson Pollock’s kind of art, where art is beautiful, but it’s nothing, and yet it’s incredible.
I’m the type of person, I have to study to get an A on the test.
I’ve been a huge fan of Chris Martin forever; it’d be awesome to work with him. He’s really kind, and he’s been really encouraging when we’ve met.
I’ve been my mom’s kitchen helper since I was a little kid.
