It’s different every time you write. Sometimes it might be harder than it was the day before. I don’t like forcing it, but sometimes, if you force it a little bit, it helps you to push forward, and you get inspired in a way. I’ve written songs in an hour. And there are songs that have taken me six months. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
I hate performing on live television. It’s so scary, because, if you screw up, you don’t really get any retakes. So when I do television shows now, having been on ‘Idol’ really helps me mentally to just kind of take it all in. So I learned a lot from it. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
I’m a guitar player first. So my first hero was Angus Young from AC/DC. I used to copy every move that he did, play every lick that he would. I knew I wanted to be some kind of a rocker, back in the day. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
American Idol’ was just really a platform. What you do after that is what separates you from the show. And I’ve been working really hard, touring constantly, and building those fans. You’ve got to work hard. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
I never thought I’d be traveling the world supporting my music. Everybody seems to really enjoy the music because it comes from me, and I’m proud of it. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
I love chicken and anything to do with chicken. I love anything that’s homemade. Oh, and BBQ. And I love green beans. There is so much good food. I can go on and on and on. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
I get scared to death every time I have to play. I always get nervous because you never know what to expect. The crowd could be awful, or it could be amazing. You just never know what you’re going to get until you get out there and do it. I just do my best and have fun. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
In my opinion, it seems like music is taking a bit of a turn. Look at Mumford and Sons, and the Lumineers. It seems like people and music fans are enjoying the more artistic side of music, and that popular music is taking a turn and accepting that, so I appreciate that. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
I’m not some cute guy who is trying to be successful off that. I really want the music to come first. Phillip Phillips Read Quote
