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

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

Who doesn't love Tupac? Those records have such swagger to them. The groove is just incredible.

I love country music, but I also love gangster rap.

I've only ever been in one band in my life, and that was in middle school.

You have to be delusional to get into this business, you know?

There is a healthy amount of self-doubt and criticism with most people that make music. You find your areas that are your best. Onstage, I am good. But talking to someone in the grocery store? Forget about it.

I hold religious tendencies, but I'm not devout by any means.

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