Everybody
Me and my family are straight. I am blessed. I am alive, man, and I am healthy, and that is the only thing that matters. Me and my family, everybody else, it really doesn't matter because why do you care about somebody talking negative about you if they don't know you?

Movie
The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I'm interested in and then I decide I'm going to explore it.

Country
Storytelling
We have that storytelling history in country and bluegrass and old time and folk music, blues - all those things that combine to make up the genre.
