Notable Guest Quotes

"Songs don’t have a shelf life if they’re a hit song."

“You really have to have some guts and a thick skin in this business especially when you get to Nashville because publishers and everybody in the business will say No a lot of times; a lot more times than they do say Yes, so you have to be able to accept and handle rejection well and you have to have an open mind and listen to the things that people critique you in and tell you what you're doing wrong.”

“Just don't let it chew you up and spit you out because it's a tough town.”

“My motto, and this is a huge philosophy of mine, is that we have strength in numbers.”

“A lot of people try to do this alone.  There is no possible way that you're going to accomplish your full potential or what you could accomplish if you do it by yourself.  You're only one person and as a musician we know we have to wear many hats and I'm not saying don't do that, but do believe that someone out there will help you.”

“I keep thinking that perseverance is my key to success so I keep holding onto it and gradually baby steps are happening and baby steps become bigger steps then you start accomplishing things.  I look back five years ago and I was nowhere near where I am now.  Perseverance does pay off.”
