My mom was always driving me back and forth to guitar lessons, growing up. She was super supportive and probably my biggest cheerleader.

I would say growing up in Nashville has been a huge influence in my music. Growing up with my dad being a 2-time Grammy-winner, BMI songwriter of the year for five consecutive years in a row, and having the legacy he has is definitely a huge influence, too.

Throughout your whole career, there's a bunch of people you might have to kiss. Say there's this character opposite you, and you might not be into her - or him, personally. You just gotta' do it. That's your job.

My dad had this old truck that he used to take on back roads and showed me how to drive when I was nine or ten.

When I got to college, I discovered how many incredible opportunities NASA offered students pursuing a career in the space industry.

I certainly think you could look at the business side of how WWE was run, which was as a conservative company with little debt and strong cash balance.

A career is a series of ups and downs, of comebacks.

Usually, people that I like to work with are people that I believe in more than they believe in themselves, and they just need that extra boost and the person to give them a little more time and understanding and introspection into their own character to find that box office that lives inside of them.
