When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they're part of a family, not just a tour.
Sometimes in love it just gets to the point where I have to give up. I have to give up trying and I have to give up believing because I know things won't change. To me, giving up isn't being weak. Giving up is being strong enough to let go.
I feel like my music has become a lot of things. It's hard to label the evolution, but I like there to be an evolution. I just like to paint with all different kinds of colors.
When I get on a roll with something, it's really hard for me to put it down unfinished.
I don't have big security guards. I don't have an entourage.
I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.
I get nervous for everything - literally everything.
Some days I totally appreciate everything that's happening to me, and some days I feel everyone's waiting for me to mess up.
Letting go is fearless. Then, moving on and being alright, that’s fearless too.
One thing I've tried to never do is make wish lists. I try to have a very steppingstone mentality about this whole thing, where as soon as you make one step you visualize the next step, not five steps ahead.
Just keep doing 'you', and being who you are and doing what feels natural to you.
I'm intrigued and drawn to people who know exactly who they are, who know what they want, who live life on their own terms.
You have to able to make fun of yourself. Don't take things too seriously and when people make fun of you, laugh at it.
You realize the bad guy isn't wearing a black cape or easy to spot; he's funny, makes you laugh, and has perfect hair.
