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

I like to look at the songs like they're little movies.

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

Playing live is about going for it .. it's about bringing it ... you should see a bunch of people trying out stuff, actually performing, instead of learning the record and recreating it note for note. I can't play the show the same way every night .. I really need to be in a creative environment, every night or I'll go nuts ... my manager accuses me of singing just long enough to get me to my next guitar solo - which is true.

In the past, I tried to be more of a typical session guitarist. I wasn't so concerned with impressing anybody.

Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my Dad. Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari, on the way to rehab.

Guitar playing isn't really for everybody.
