People tried to do a lot of stuff with me early in my career where they tried to shape me into one thing or another. They couldn't just take the chance and go with my vision - which was just my intuition, really.

When I think about Flyleaf it makes me want to cry. Because it was such a special, unique family.

From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.

The guitar is your first wings. It's assigned and designed to unfold your vision and imagination.

If I'm gonna tell a real story, I'm gonna start with my name.

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision.
