I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves whether it's shyness insecurity anxiety whether it's a physical block and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.

There is no definition of beauty but when you can see someone's spirit coming through something unexplainable that's beautiful to me.

Becoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from and how they're made they never seem quite as sacred again.

No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.

It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs my attitude my creativity and colored them in a way that is unique.
