There are a lot of people out there that really aren't that different than me, I consider myself a pretty average guy, so hopefully they understand me and know where I am coming from. I kinda feel like I am a voice for them.

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 haven't figured out why people like what they like. I don't know. I wish I did. I could sell that to everybody, man, and be a millionaire.

I had a friend, Melissa, who was 28 years old. She was my best friend's wife, and she was my wife's best friend. She died of breast cancer. When she passed away back in 2004 was the last time I cried.

I have a love of baseball and a love of music.

After my first No. 1 song back in 2006, I worried I may never have another one.
