It's almost scary how good things are right now. I've been engaged now for about a year and it's the first time anything like that has happened to me.

What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.

I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you're born to make commercial music that's cool. But if you're born to not make commercial records, maybe you're meant to cater to another market.

Christmas makes me happy no matter what time of year it comes around.

Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.

Both of my parents were musicians.

I'm an entertainer. If people are paying good money for tickets they deserve the best show they can see. I don't get into lighting stuff on fire, but I do believe in going the extra mile.
