The goal in life is to be solid, whereas the way that life works is totally fluid, so you can never actually achieve that goal.
I draw inspiration from anything and everybody and that's what country music is to me... real life stories and real life emotions.
Just because I grew up a white guy in America doesn't mean that's the music of my life.
I love things that are harsh and things that are too loud. And I love lulling people into a false sense of security. That's life.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not here to live a normal life. I'm sent here on a mission.
It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.
I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.
I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.
I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Rihanna. I've listened to Beyonce all my life, and she's a big influence on me.
You have to let it all hang out, let go of the ideas that were more comfortable and embrace some of the sadness in your life.
It's really weird seeing someone impersonating you. But at the same time, Vic Reeves' impersonation of me is one of the highlights of my life.
But you have to give your whole life to a cello. When I realized that, I went back to the guitar and just turned the volume up a bit louder.
I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract, but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.
We obviously need more love in the world. And we obviously need more compassion and understanding. Our leaders need to really address these issues properly now.
I'd love to cover an 'Incubus' song. I don't think anybody in a cowboy hat on a country stage has ever done that, and I'd love to be the first.
And I don't feel any form of music is beyond me in the sense of that I don't understand it or I don't have some love for some part of it.
I love the idea that someone I like would have a piece of mine in their house and have a relationship with it.
Do what you love, and you will find the way to get it out to the world.
I love Motown, but I've obviously always been more of a Memphis soul fan. If it's Stax or Motown, I go Stax.
Well, I love Pink Floyd, so I wouldn't be offended by it. I only intentionally robbed them three or four times.
I'm just looking for that moment to drop my Jedi knickers and pull out my real light saber.
