I imagine there's a market for total depression. I grew up on George Jones and that really dark stuff.

Anytime you do something from the heart, people just know it.

I changed my mindset and figured, Why not try to be really entertaining instrumentally?

This is real, this is your life in a song...this is country music.

Rock Band never got anybody a date. Never.

I don't stare at a sheet of paper and try to think of a good word to use. I try to see where the story should go.

I'm a last-minute shopper. I end up at the mall or somewhere on Christmas Eve. It's a shame.
