I don't know what it is in me that refuses to quit, but I think it's kind of like, dare to dream.

It's really hard to chase a lofty dream.

I moved to Nashville with the same kind of mindset that I had in L.A., and that is to make sure you don't get outworked by anybody and make sure you're always writing songs and take every opportunity to play that you can.

My dad's a pastor; I grew up in the church, and it's really easy to just have a healthy respect for what some people might be sensitive to.

The fact of the matter is, if music is something that you want to do, you need to stick with it with the idea that you're going to do it until it works.

In Nashville, everybody just wants to write the best songs. So it's a very inviting songwriting community.

I have the same blankie that I've had since childhood.

There is a lot of California in my... sound, and a ton of it is the laid-back nature of Southern Californians and the beach.

It's funny how God will change your plans for you when he's ready.

I have always been a super-emotional dude.

I say this all the time: I've always been really good at managing my expectations so that I'm not let down.

There's room for everybody to have success, but the moment I start slacking is the moment people will forget about me.
