'Shotgun's one of the first songs I ever wrote. It's about a couple I met at Waffle House, an all night diner I used to hang at before I could go to bars.

If I could be more vague I'd write more about people in my life, but I hate hurting feelings or making people feel uncomfortable. I've done that before. Unless they're sad songs. Those get finished fast, but the mean ones often end up at the back of the bottom drawer and it's probably for the best.

Even though he sings the same songs night after night, he never disappoints, ... He always gives 100 percent, and no matter how old he gets, he always sounds like Johnny Mathis.

I had an indie pop phase, I had just about every phase you could think of.

I record all night and sleep all day.

Make sure you never, never argue at night. You just lose a good night's sleep, and you can't settle anything until morning anyway.
