It might be a little embarrassing, but I never ever missed an episode of 'Dawson's Creek' growing up.

I don't really see why some of those topical lines have to be crossed to get a point across. I want a mother and daughter, a teenage girl and her mom, to be able to come to the show and both enjoy it on the same level.

When I was young, I would just write poems into textbooks in class. Everybody needs that outlet. For me, I think it's less about learning about myself and more about just needing to get things out sometimes.

I always loved music, I just never thought of it as a career. Baseball was always my thing.

When it's your words, and then you watch it connect with an audience as the artist, I kinda reflect back on the writing process and why those words were important to me. And to watch people sing it back, I mean, that kinda means everything because that's the whole point for me - performance and songwriting - is to connect with people.

Californian artists are kind of willing to push the limits a little bit further just because that's kind of our mentality in that state.

I'm still obsessed with the beach whenever I'm home; when I'm on the beach, it feels like home to me.

I surfed until I was 18, and being the athlete that I am, I got really frustrated with how I wasn't really getting any better.

I'm personally a hopeless romantic. I always have been.

I've always been pretty in touch with what I'm feeling.

Country music isn't about being better than the guy next to you - it's just making sure that you keep working hard enough to deserve the position that you get in.

I've never been that comfortable with the acting thing. It's difficult for me to separate what's really going on. If there's kissing, that's kissing. I'm not acting; I don't know how.
