Quote

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

I'm really not good at anything else, so if I don't make it as a musician, I'll probably just end up living in the woods with a bunch of dogs.

Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.

Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs.

As a songwriter, if you can touch people and make them feel a little less alone in the world, then you've done your job.

Sing the songs of joy to the Lord, serve the Name of the Lord, and become the servant of His servants.

My goal every time I make a record is just to make the funkiest, the best music I could possibly make, both lyrically, and music-wise.

I really like singing, but coming from a small town like where I grew up, how do you start that journey?

The thing is, my life is a country song. I don't need to be manufactured, and I don't need anyone to tell me what to say or what to sing.

So much of my career has been about saying things the way people say them, using melodies not that I can sing but that the people can sing.
