I'm very particular about the kind of music that I record and sing, and it would be the same way about the kind of movies that I would do.

You have record companies that sign acts that they think are great, and then they never do anything. Acts that they don't think are really going to do much end up having a career. I don't think anyone really knows what it is that drives somebody to get on their computer and want to download a 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 every artist wants to have that 'Grammy award winner' tag in front of their name.

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.

I had an opportunity to play baseball in college, but I just didn't want to go to school. I started focusing on my music and it was game over!

Country music artists are staying true to their roots, keeping it country but throwing a little bit of rock flair in there which I think is a good thing.
