The biggest production show I went to with my step-dad and my mom was Adam Ant when I was probably eleven.

Pop country is about being so clean and perfect and not having any rough edges or imperfections. It's all manufactured.

Man, I live out 90 percent of my songs and the other 10 percent... once in a while, I'll put myself in someone else's shoes and try to go down that road.

I have never had a business mind.

Over the years, Cajun music has always calmed me down, or if I'm feeling real sick or feeling real unsettled, I can put that music on and try to get focused again.

The best music out there isn't on the radio.
