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.

Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.

Just keep taking chances and having fun.

I'm sitting in the drive-through and I've got my three girls in the back and this station comes on and it's playing “Jailhouse Rock,” the original version, and my girls are jumping up and down, going nuts. I'm looking around at them and they've heard Dad's music all the time and I don't see that out of them.

I've never stayed awake at night over a chance I took that failed, but I've stayed awake over chances I didn't take.

The cool thing about passion is that no matter how good or bad a day you're having, tomorrow's going to be better because passion finds some way of doubling itself.

If you're gonna leave your mark, you can't follow a bunch of sheep, you gotta listen to your heart.
