I really tend to write in retrospect.

Any of the rewards or accolades or any of that are very nice and everything but the music is what saves me. And it did. I would write my way out of any kind of depressing period.

Ill never be, like, sippy cup country, or write about everything I do around the house.

I love Darius Rucker. He's a true artist, a great songwriter who can play his instrument, sing and write about his life.

I started playing in bars when I was about 15 years old, and there are things that I saw early on that really shaped who I am.

I want to let fans know how much I appreciate them and how much I appreciate them showing interest in our music and me personally.

When I was a kid, we always had big gardens, acres of stuff we grew out in the yard.

I started playing guitar before I can really remember, and I started writing really early, too.

Kick your shoes off, kickem off

A good person always find the goodness in a bad person.

Knowledge is the most prized commodity in the entire universe, and it is infinite in its commodity.

Events are transient, feelings are momentary, perception is optional and internalization is life long.

When they bring the drama, get silent, don't react...and watch what happens (not to you, but those who habitually thrive on your 'willing' participation).

Success doesn't necessarily mean happiness.

Practice giving things away, not just things you don't care about, but things you do like.

You are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

I would rather write 10,000 notes than a single letter of the alphabet.

Virtue is the master of talent, talent is the servant of virtue. Talent without virtue is like a house where there is no master and their servant manages its affairs. How can there be no mischief?

I like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.
