country song heart
'Nashville' songs and country music have always been about storytelling and about the heart and confessionals. They're monologues.
writing nashville hands
Now that I'm in 'Nashville,' the thing that I'm loving the most is co-writing. You walk into the room and you shake hands with someone you've never met before and you walk out four hours later and you've got this thing... sharing ideas and everything, it's almost magical, like a miracle.
song clever writing
Elvis Costello's song writing is so peerless and individualistic. It's storytelling and it's deeply intelligent and clever.
country dad car
When your dad is a country music fan and you take long car trips, you become one too.

I had been in a band in college. You kind of need to make a choice between going the music route or going the acting route. I chose acting, figuring I could always do the music on my own.
