I write in all keys. I've always written in all keys. I've probably written a lot of songs in A. ↗

I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever. ↗

I've come to understand my role. On some level, I provide the context for them to shine. I also know my role is the steward of the songs, and the center point, the artist that the stuff all revolves around. But I really try to honor that. ↗

I write songs about real things... The subject dictates the mood and it goes from there, really. ↗

Every song I put on a record could be a single and I just pack my bags for it... and the minute it takes off, I'm not gonna be home for a while. ↗

I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. ↗

I can play songs that I hear from a movie and just play it a few times on the keyboard. I will hit all the notes on the keyboard until I find the right key, and then I will play the rest of the song. ↗

My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he'd listen to a lot of music and the songs that he'd learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even. ↗

Of course, we wrote the songs accordingly and performed and recorded them that way. At that time, we really thought it was right, but you know, seen in retrospect, it made the album sound forced, and not really great. ↗
