“I've learned that writing a book and songwriting have a lot in common ...” — Jimmie Allen Quote

“I've learned that writing a book and songwriting have a lot in common - it's all about the honesty and connection with the audience.”

“I spent 11 years in Nashville trying to get a record deal. That was the time I was living in my car.”

“The crazy thing is after I had my son, that next year, I got a publishing deal. The next year, I got a record deal.”

“I'm just a total nerd, in all honesty. I'm a massive, insane record fan - that's how I got into playing music. That's why I wanted to make an album - I'm obsessed with how sides flow.”

“Kids have a weird honesty, especially in their reaction to things where a lot of older people who have matured have lost that.”

“I think probably honesty is the biggest quality I look for in a relationship. Being exactly who you are with the other person.”
