Singing live is my favorite. When people sing along to your songs, the circle is complete.

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.

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.

The rule of songwriting: say what you want to say, say it again, say it a different way, then say it again.

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

I grew up in a fun-loving environment - you work hard and play hard.
