I do remember the people who believed in me in the beginning. I'll never forget that.

I love music, that it changes so much, but I also want to keep a bit of the country roots to make it country. I don't want to go too far away from it, or I would do pop music.

I have too much drive and determination to let anything falter me. Because I know that life's short and there's so much that I wanna do, and I can't do anything that might hold me back or get stuck in.

I think I have a good head on my shoulders.

People were always asking me who I wanted to tour with, and I always said Jason Aldean or Brad Paisley.

I was a bit scared because I came from the acting world. There was a fear that people would think of me kind of as a joke. But really, people think of me as a country artist who can act. That's my favorite compliment.

I would love to do a duet with Tim McGraw. I think that would be fun.
