“Different people have different ways of doing things. For me, becoming a songwriter first and falling in love with the Nashville songwriting community and the process of songs and getting better and putting more in what I wanted to say, was absolutely vital in me even wanting to be an artist.”

A lot of times, Im singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.

When something comes to my brain, I don’t ignore it. You never know what it’s going to turn into.

I think if you’re everyone’s cup of tea, that probably means you’re a little bit boring, or you’re not pushing yourself.

All I have in this world is a place that’s mine, a few good friends and a few good lines, a couple pairs of shoes that I love that shine and I walk in peace.

When you see me out I hope the taste in your mouth is still sweet as I wish it could be, believe me.

Get in loser, we’re having a nervous breakdown.

It’s weird, because the ideas in my songs aren’t controversial to me. I feel like I should be able to sing about anything.

Obviously, I dont live and die by it, everything my horoscope says. But I feel like theres definitely something to it.

If you wanna find the honey, You can’t be scared of the bees.

We knew what was under the surface and lived like it wouldn’t hurt us. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘶𝘴.

I would love to go to India. And also someday, I want to have a family. That’s my bucket-list.

Being grown up kinda sucks and I’m really just missin the simple times.

I don’t wanna play your game, boy. Cleanin’ up the messes that you make.

Really connecting with someone and maybe opening their mind a little bit, is such a cool thing to be able to do through music.

I’m all about small towns. I think it’s a great place to grow up.

I burned my own damn finger pokin’ someone else’s fire.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike… People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist.

The greatest thing an actor can experience is discovery. The greatest thing an artist can walk away with is to learn something about themselves and the world and this was one of those.

Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.

When I put that first Vine out, I was just doing it for fun; there was no wanting to become an artist.

I think if you’re creating music, and you love the song, holding it back is just doing it an injustice.

At the end of the day, nobody can tell you how to tackle failure or how to handle change. The world is very good at encouraging you to go along with the status quo and at basking in your successes.

I want my work to reflect my level of gifts and talent.
