I've Always Made Music That Was Representative

I'm Not A Guy Who Can Go In And Go, "hey, Are We Doing Right Or Wrong?" I Just Do It. And Whatever It Is, It Is.

I Think Too Many People, If You Are 46 You Want To Look 36, And If You're 36 You Want To Look 26. I Didn't Want To Do That. I've Earned The Gray Hairs. So I Wanted To Show That Level Of Honesty.

The Key To Songwriting Is Just To Be Able To Observe, And Put Yourself In Situations To Be Around People, And Let Those Ideas Come To You.

Many People Have Come To Think They Can Just Wake Up And Have Things Handed To Them.

Man, If Anybody Knew The Path That We've Been On, No One In Their Right Mind Would Ever Try To Duplicate It. That's Something Nashville Always Tries To Do, Though. If Something Is Successful, They Try To Repeat It By Telling Other People, "hey, Do What That Guy Did." I Just Don't Think It Works That Way. The First One Who Gest There, The One That Cuts The Path ... It's Always The Roughest Path But I Think It's Got The Most Reward At The End.
