Amos Lee

I think most of the time when people have big disagreements and big misunderstandings, when time lessens that blow it creates a deeper understanding for both people.

I like down-to-earth people.

Country artists have advantages all over the place. The radio support is incredible. The fanbase is rabid, all over.

I'm not afraid to be bluntly honest in my songs, even if it means I'm discovering things about myself that I'd rather not.

I don't really hang out with a lot of celebrities.

I wasn't a very good teacher.

I don't know anyone who is a writer who isn't influenced by the relationships in their life.

I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.

I love vinyl, man.

I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.

I love what I do, so I don't mind working.

Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.
