“Right after high school... the first time I ever recorded music was with a rapper, a friend of mine, and I would just be like, 'I'll sing your choruses.' So I would sing his hooks and he would go in there and rap.”

“I've established this kind of wild persona and these redneck party songs and a live show that's kind of rowdy, but I don't want people to think that's what I'm all about.”

“I still have my buddies from back home, I still have my family. They really help to keep me grounded. I try to call them and talk to them about their everyday life.”

“I just want to make music people like.”

“I took a few months off after my senior year was over, and I prayed and tried to figure out what was my plan and my purpose. That's how I started writing songs and playing guitar just to get my feelings out.”

“I know that I come from a place of small-town roots and of humble beginnings and I try to keep those things in my songs - just stuff that I know people like me can relate to.”

“My stupid ambition is to make a film that's not like any other - one that has its own kind of logic and hooks viewers without making them think too much. It's a film I'd love to see, one in which after 10 minutes the audience isn't able to predict the whole thing.”

“You've got to quit lowering your standards. Set your requirements up front so when a guy hooks you, he has to know this is business.”

“I believe very strongly in having melodic hooks, whether they're short or intricate, that you really remember in a movie.”

“Hooks need to be predictable and not predictable at the same time.”

“Guitar Center hooks me up on a lot of stuff.”

“The hooks didn't roll out any more sevens than my hands did before them.”
