Texas is the first place I’ve felt at home, and that’s a strange feeling. I mean, other people always talk about missing home, or feeling at home, and I’d never experienced that. It’s an easy place to live. People seem to enjoy their lives more or something. A lot of cities seem to have a lot of unsatisfied people in them, but West Texas… it’s just peaceful and quiet.

I don’t think I’m a serious musician. I place a great value on music and respect the creation of it. But I never was or became a serious musician. I just started as a curious kid and hope to end as such.

The songs evolve like mammals did and do.
