I love flying planes.

I don't believe in making a record and rushing it.

All I knew when I moved to Nashville was that I wanted to make music in whatever shape and form I could.

To be the name on somebody's shirt that they've made themselves in preparation for one of your shows - it doesn't get much cooler than that.

I don't have a girlfriend. I don't know if I have a type, but I really like girls who are driven. I really care about music, so I like it when a girl really cares about something too. Whatever it is they are into, I'll be their biggest fan.

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 a lot of people I'd like to write with, like Keith Urban or even as far out as Stevie Wonder.
