“I never did figure on being a college man.”
“I write about the dark and the happy.”
“I'm a very respectful person.”
“My mom was always playing Elvis around the house or ZZ Top, so there was always rock-n-roll and country being played.”
“I always do my show and say hello. And a lot of people are standing around waiting to shake my hand and say thanks for, A, letting me talk to you, and letting me feel a part of what you do.”
“For someone like me, if I ever had huge success or whatever that is, I would just play smaller venues two to three nights in a row just to keep the intimacy level there and that's my take on it, but it just depends what you're going for.”
“Energy wise, playing the drums was a lot of fun; I just felt like it was a natural fit for me.”
“There's only one Hank Williams, man. Singing that high-voiced style, them bluegrassers, I don't see how they do it - Jimmy Martin, Bill Monroe - it's just a natural thing, man.”
“My country stuff, it might sound like Hank Williams - that's just the way it is. But I'd rather sound like Hank Williams than Trace Atkins.”
“Everything is not perfect in our world.”
“I've got no respect for anyone who tries to take the easy way out.”
“Politics and music should only mix to a point. Me, I think my job as a musician is to make people try to forget about all that.”
“I told all my punk friends, 'If I'm gonna do country music, I'm gonna milk it.'”
“I am from a rebel blood line.”
“I'm not just a country artist. I've got so any sides to me and the music I write.”
“I could put in garage doors or work in McDonald's but that's it. So I figured I might as well play the Nashville game.”
“Man, I live out 90 percent of my songs and the other 10 percent... once in a while, I'll put myself in someone else's shoes and try to go down that road.”
“This is just what I do, play music and create sounds and all that good stuff.”
“My first vinyl was a Kiss record and a Walt Disney record. I liked the energy of rock and roll.”
“In reality, I never even got to have a Hank Williams instrument. I got a tie, a fishing lure and a check.”
