Nashville is one of the greatest places for the best songwriters in the world. It's been fantastic to live there and to raise our family there. It's a great town.

I'm very competitive but in a very nice way

It's not complicated to embrace life. You just have to make the choice.

I grew up asking for everything under the sun for Christmas, but I knew I wasn't going to get it all.

I don't write my own songs. I don't have time.

I believe that you need to be the person you are and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you want something, go out and get it. Follow your dreams, and never give up!

When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms, the whole world just fades away. The only thing I hear is the beating of your heart.
