“I had to deal with being somewhat of an outcast because it's not socia...” — Taylor Hicks Quote

“I had to deal with being somewhat of an outcast because it's not socially acceptable to be a struggling musician. There have been times where I've felt sorry for the person I was dating. I felt she deserved better.”

“I've surfed the Web and the whole dating connection. I find that pretty fascinating, but no real leads.”

“Career had a lot to do with 80 percent of my breakups. It's very tough to date a struggling musician. The idea of it is enticing and fun and mysterious. But the reality is long hours and hard work. I have a lot of respect for the women I've dated.”

“When a girl is single, everyone wants to find out who she is dating.”

“It's usually drawing on personal experience. I don't think I could dig deep enough trying to get into somebody else's life. Like 'Far From Me' - I wrote it about this waitress that I was dating when I was fifteen or so, and she broke up with me.”

“Dating can be painful, can be great, can be confusing, can be weird, but I don't do it online because I'm not really an online person.”
