All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.
The first thing I think of when I think about coming to Las Vegas and playing is always Elvis; its always the first thing on my mind.
Coffee, whiskey, and fishing poles. That’s really all you need in life.
Bear the burdens of others, but don't put them in your pocket too.
But I'm warning you, we're growing up.
Sometimes seeming happy can be self-destructive even when you're sane.
I've read and heard that some of the most inspiring vocal interpreters adhere habitually to one rule: Always think the lyrics as you're singing them, so that the sentiment is always appropriate and heartfelt.
The purpose of it all is love.
I'd love to claim the title of 'songwriter' or 'intellectual,' but the truth is that anything that I ever learned how to do in conjunction with music was purely so that I would have a platform to sing from.
I didn't get bullied any more than anybody else. I think I got bullied more for being poor than being gay. But no more than any other kid. And I'm sure that I did my fair share of picking on other kids, too. We're all humans.
There's a lot of really inspiring music coming around the bend - we tend to believe that to sound classic or timeless is to sound vintage or retro. It's a little bit dangerous, because you'll really miss a chance to make your mark as a generation.
Cousins are forever and forever are cousins they stand by your side for you no matter what.
I was born when I met you, now I'm dying to forget you
I tend to support and get behind issues instead of candidates, because of the whole 'Super Bowl' generalization of our world - You're on this side, I'm on that side; you're a Republican, I'm a Democrat; you're country music, I'm rock music.
