I am who I am and I don't think you can put a label on it.

I just continue to be myself and give this thing over to the good lord, just do my best every night and pretend like it's just any other job.

When your songs are like your babies, even the one that you know aren't great, you still love.

I try not to keep my head in the clouds .

I think if you expect it to do well, you come off a little bit cocky.

I think everything moving forward will just be instinctual, like we'll know exactly which doors to walk through when they open.

In my opinion, if you buy a ticket to see me you're buying experience. People don't want to see me stand there and play guitar, they want to party with us.

I'd love to do a live record, I'd love to do an acoustic record, I'm already thinking about what I may want to do with the next studio record.

I try to make sure that, when I'm writing, I don't put too much Cody in it. But I don't want to lose it either.

I have a conscience, man, and I've worked really hard to keep it where you would feel like you were talking to the same man at one of my shows or sitting down at my dinner table.

I don't like reality TV as far as it being scripted and not being true reality.

For the first time I realized adults could back themselves into corners so remote that love, or its memory, could no longer reach them.

The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.

Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.

All new ideas begin in a non-conforming mind that questions some tenet of the conventional wisdom.

You sort of have to be always aware, even when you're not thinking of shooting. That's when the best stuff happens.

And I really have done everything that I said I did do. The rest is just a story that somebody else made up.

Happiness is the maximum agreement of reality and desire.

Nothing is written stone, child. Even if it were, the stones can be shattered

My own feeling is that human happiness is a very random thing, and bestows itself willy-nilly, and there's not much deserving about the matter.

I don't like the word 'career'. When somebody says to me, 'oh, you've had such a wonderful career', I think, 'career - that's after you're dead.' I just don't think that way.
