Thank you to country radio for believing in me.

All my band members were old enough to be my dad. It was like this family vibe.

There is a bit of a movement as far as younger people in country music. That is cool because people are saying things like, 'I didn't listen to country music until so-and-so came along.' And I'm like, 'Yeah! Now you know why I love it.

Meeting Stevie Wonder was a massive, lifetime achievement for me. He's one of the sweetest people. I sense a kindred spirit in him, and I hope he'd say the same. Actually, he did.

Anyone who tells you they're not nervous playing on the CMAs stage, I'm afraid they're not telling you the whole story.

There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now

I am a huge, huge Ronnie Milsap fan. I have been for a long time.
