You come to a country music show and it's like a rock show, it's so different, it's just not what people think it is, it's really cool and I think that if people just give it a chance they'd see that it's really cool and I think that's what people are finally starting to see.

I think it's important to do things that you're interested in. I think it's important to have other outlets away from the music industry.

I try to record music that people can relate to.

There's nothing cooler than a good fitting, worn-in pair of Wrangler jeans, so it's great that with the new Retro line, my fans can go out and rock the same styles that I love.

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.

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

You don't want to get too ahead of yourself and go out thinking you can play stadiums every night, and they end up being about half-full.
