I love playing music. And that's what it's all about.

I try to record music that people can relate to.

I didn't get into music to become famous and I didn't get into music to become rich either - I got into because I liked it.

I grew up listening to all kinds of music, everything from country to rock, pop, R&B and even rap, so for me, music is music and a great song is a great song.

I would say, 'Go ask any couple that's been married for 30, 40, 50 years... It hasn't always been roses.'

I think country music is obviously a great form of music. I think it's cool and has mass appeal.

My dad encouraged anything I wanted to do, especially music. Actually he drove me around to places where I could play.
