“Wherever is your heart I call home.”

The first thing I think of when I think about coming to Las Vegas and playing is always Elvis; its always the first thing on my mind.

Privilege and complacency paralyze me with fear sometimes.

I’m not sure I’ll ever be famous by anyone’s definition. I can only hope to be allowed by the audience to continue my life’s work.

Good planning avoids the need for fixing up a project that plowed ahead without thought… about potential pitfalls.

The purpose of it all is love.

There’s a lot of really inspiring music coming around the bend – we tend to believe that to sound classic or timeless is to sound vintage or retro. It’s a little bit dangerous, because you’ll really miss a chance to make your mark as a generation.

The mole can’t live in your dollhouse.

My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro.

If I learned to play guitar it was so that I would have something to sing to, if I learned to write a song it was so that I would have something to sing. So the gut feeling you’re talking about comes from singing and communicating the lyrics and what it is that we feel.
