I Always Try To Make The Music

Making Music Is Still What Keeps A Fire Going On In Me.

I Don't Write All My Stuff. Everybody Always Thinks That. But In Just About Every Album I've Ever Had Has Been About 50-50 Songs I've Written Or Co-written And Other People's Songs.

I Think Every Album You Have, Especially If It's Done Well, You Feel Like You're Competing With Yourself.

I Think I've Always Approached Making Albums Pretty Much The Same Way. I'm Just Looking For A Mixture Of Songs And Topics That Aren't The Same Thing Over And Over.

I Didn't Realize Until I Was Older What A Huge Music Fan My Daddy Really Was, And Actually That My Grandma Played Banjo At One Time, And I Didn't Even Know That Until A Year Or Two Ago.
