I love songs, and I love to tell stories, and so a lot of times, if you really want a good story, you got to flip the radio dial over to country.
-
To be a good musician, you need to give people what they want, what they need.
-
Street performing can be a great teaching ground and a barometer for what you're doing. It's rough and unforgiving at times, but it can be wild and fun and a real open canvas for your creativity.

'Fresh Eyes' was my own little discovery of having been in a relationship for a while and realizing that my favorite part of it is being surprised.
-
I am so blessed and lucky.
-
I love going places that could sound cheesy but, when you hear them, just sound sincere.
-
I feel like if you told me I would be having a son, I would be like, 'Yeah, I'm gonna be a parent - I get that.' But when the doctor was like, 'You're gonna have a girl,' I was like, 'What? Who am I?' It's the craziest piece of information that changes who you are. It's sweet.
-
I don't really think in terms of goals.
-
We always need little reminders that it's gonna be all good.
-
I'm from New York, so I'm simultaneously a snob and will also eat any pizza you put in front of me.
-
I am happy to join AutoNation in the fight against cancer. This disease hits close to home for me with the loss of my mom in 2009. Raising awareness and finding a cure is really important to me.
-
I think I was 15 the first time I wrote a good song.
-
Life is hard, you know. If I can give someone on the radio three minutes to make them feel happier, that's a cool thing.
-
Life is hard, but there are moments, sometimes hours - and, if you're really lucky, full days - where everything feels just right.
-
My third album, that will definitely be about this little girl and the process of watching your wife get pregnant. It's crazy.
-
When I was a street performer, before I had any songs of my own that anybody would stop and put in money for, I would always be doing covers. Even with covers, people wouldn't stop in the beginning.
-
You have to do what you want to do, and I genuinely believe that if you start interacting in the world that way that there is a respect in that.
-
If I write a sad song, at the end it's gotta be like, 'Dude, things are looking up!'
-
I think that's what makes a great show: when the performers onstage aren't putting on a show, they're legitimately just having a freaking awesome time.
-
Once you see the impact that you have on people, either at a meet and greet or after a show, you think, 'Oh man, they need to feel better today.'
-
I love me some 'Family Guy.'
-
Even a song like 'Give Love,' in my head, there's a question as I'm writing it, going, 'Is this cheesy? Is it too on the nose to say 'give love?''
-
As a musician, you just want to be able to do what you love.
-
The fact that people put on 'Honey, I'm Good' to get their day started - that's really sweet.
