1. I’d rather have 100,000 people who really get what I’m doing and like it for what it is than a million who can take it or leave it.
2. I always draw from things around me that people around me have gone through… The story that could be taken really literally is not from my life exactly. But bits and pieces are, and the sentiment behind it is.
3. I wouldn’t ever do a radio edit because I feel like it would totally go against the point of ‘Follow Your Arrow.’ I just think you’re going to like it or not like it.
4. I did tennis for a while, and I was actually on the volleyball team for a minute.
5. I didn’t necessarily grow up in a trailer park, but there is a brief part of that in my life. So I can make fun of it a little bit. I’m not too much of an outsider, where I’m just making fun of someone.
6. I see my fans as music lovers. I really love that. There’s no age group or demographic. It’s people of all ages and backgrounds. Country people and non-country people. I wanted to make music across the board.

14. I’m thrilled that country music fans like my stuff, but so do a lot of people outside of country music, people who just love music. My goal is more to reach music lovers than to appeal to a genre. I love country music, and I’m proud to represent it, but I don’t obsess over it as a category.
15. My parents have always had a great sense of humor. And I really appreciate good humor in songs, witty lyrics that sneak up on you and then you listen again, and say: ‘That’s so funny.’ John Prine’s songs have always had this really witty tone.
