“My favorite bands are Hank Williams Jr. and Led Zeppelin. When it's rock, it's '70s rock, and when it's country, it's '70s country. For me, it's the grit and dirt of music that I love so much.”
“It took me a little while to get sorrow under the belt enough to understand country music's lyrics and strengths.”
“I was able to be more reckless and now I still make mistakes, but having kids, you have a responsibility and these little people who are looking up to you for everything.”
“I think the first older artist I related to and loved was Bowie.”
“I don't care if people like Trump or hate him, if they voted for him or not; people just want to have a good time. They don't want to hear about immigration or whatever on a record or at a show.”
“Being with my kids is really important to me, being a good dad and being around a lot.”
“That's the thing I love the most - making records and creating new things. That's always the thing that grabbed me. Making records is the thing that I really love.”
“You know, when I was younger I was into all kinds of art - drawing, painting, all that stuff. But I played drums, played piano forever.”
“I can't get booked on the Fourth of July, or it'll be, 'Do you want to open for the opener for Toby Keith?' Hell, no.”
“I feel comfortable in my own skin writing about the things that I like because I know that there are other people out there that understand what I'm talking about.”
“If you are close to your parents or a grandparent, you watch as they get old and you learn so much from that, and it makes you want to learn more while you have time.”
“Anything I write is going to be autobiographical and true to some degree.”
