Anderson East

“I don't think there is a clear-cut avenue for what I do, and I am OK with that. I am just a lover of music.”

“I think when a lot of people hear the term 'country,' they step off from it.”

“I kind of tried my hand at sports and school, and I wasn't very apt at either one of those things.”

“It's always difficult to be a traveling musician and still keep things together.”

“We loved 'The Crown.' And 'The Killing' and 'The Fall' with Gillian Anderson. All those crime shows are always super fun.”

“I'm a really big fan of facial hair.”

“I'm a huge closet Mariah Carey fan - she's got one of the best voices probably ever.”

“That's the biggest part of going to church. You just learn how to hide your bad in front of people.”

“I love seeing people smiling, dancing. There's enough sadness in the world, man.”

“I have the purest intent when it comes to love. But it doesn't always work out that way. That's the truth. But you know, it's still pretty fun when you're in the moment.”

“I don't think I am a soul singer and definitely don't think that I am a country artist by any stretch.”

“I've tried to do the sad-bastard thing for long enough. I just want to have a good time.”
