I love North Carolina.

Music is what I do naturally.

It's hard to deny talent. If you're good, you're good.

Education is one of the most important tools that you can give somebody.

It's like a dream sometimes, a song just pops into your head and you can't tell if it's something you heard or it's new and you got to write it down.

My world on the road always ends up feeling really small which is ironic because that's when I'm seeing the most places and meeting the most people!

I've been really lucky to have a lot of cool people and to be around a lot of cool celebrities that I've got to learn from.

I never was strutting through the hallways like, "Yeah, I'm a singer/songwriter." That's never a cool thing to do - to be the brooding guy.

I can't figure out why fans keep coming, maybe it's because they dig the songs.

I don't know how to make magic. For most songwriter's that has only happened once or twice, and I don't know how to re-create that. I know that there are some tricks and tools, but the magic is the amazing part.
