Thank God for unanswered prayers.

Getting older doesn't help you in the fact that you might have covered some of this ground before. So you're listening to a song that you know is a hit, but it just can't be a hit for you, it's gonna be a hit for somebody else. That's tough.

I still use the guitar pretty much just to hide my gut.

I wouldn't mind producing a movie with a music storyline, but acting in one is too close to home.

Listen not to the critics who put their own dreams on the shelf.

I feel my job as an artist is to drive people to country radio. That's my job as a country artist. So these streaming places, especially these on-demand streaming places, where you can just push a button and hear it as many times as you want, like YouTube, any of that stuff, that's taking all the ears away from country radio.

There's a moment that we all come to, in our own time, in our own space, where all that we've done, we can undo, if our heart's in the right place.
