First And Foremost, I Consider Myself A

I Was On One Bus With My Band And Crew For Seven Years. I Didn't Come To Town With A Karaoke Tape. I Didn't Get On A Tv Show. There Were No Shortcuts. Anybody Who Wants To Follow My Model Is Welcome To It. You Don't Want To Follow My Path.

I Think People Need To Live Their Lives The Way They Want To, But I'm Pretty Confident In The Fact That I Love Girls. I've Got A Long Line Of Girls Who Could Testify That I Am Not Gay.

I'm Glad I Took That Time To Work Really Hard On The Music. I Feel The Effects Of That Now In A Positive Way With My Connection With The Audience.

Live A Little, Love A Lot.

As A Songwriter, You're Never Off - For Me, Anyway. There's A Certain Mentality Of People That Decide, "oh, We're Going To Try To Write Songs From This Time Of The Day To This Time Of The Day." Almost Treat It Like A Real Job. I Can't Do That. I've Never Been Able To Write Songs Like That. You Never Know When Something Creative Is Going To Hit You, Or Emotion Or Whatever. You Can Take It, And Turn It Into Something That Makes Somebody Feel Something. I Love That About My Job.
