“You look back at people like Elvis and The Beatles and still get their music because it’s timeless. That’s what I want.”

As soon as I get time, I really wanna dig down and do some acting.

I’m tortured because I care. I’m always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have because I care.

My first Vine I really just posted out of spontaneity.

I’m not the best singer in the world; I’m just good at picking up what I want to sound like.

Absolutely, I never stop working on new music.

I have a song called ‘I Don’t Even Know Your Name’ which I think is going to be well liked across the board.

I think my all time favourite song would be between ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’ and ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ by John Mayer.

I loved Nashville. I was amazed by the whole place.

I’m not just writing songs that are narrating my life, but everyone else around my age because they’re super-relatable.

You have to work the crowd.

I’m not a rapper.

Definitely, it’s hard being a young artist and being taken seriously.

I felt like there were so many talented people who should be getting what I have.

Just the fact that a thousand people in front of me were ready to hear me sing was one of the best feelings I can think of.

I really love listening to Hozier. He’s great.

I have songs about growing up, about ex-relationships – ex-relationship, I should say.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good – he’s rock’s #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us.

Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

Whether you are doing it in the bar, the church, the strip joint, or the Himalayas, the first duty of music is to complement and enhance life.

Janis Joplin sings the blues as hard as any black person.

I can’t play long solos anymore without boring myself.

I’ve put my life back together, but it’s all a growing process and that’s neat, too, because if you stop growing, what good is it musically? So that is what I am looking forward to – growing. In some ways, I felt stagnant in my life and it showed.

Rock is my child and my grandfather.
