I think every artist wants to have that 'Grammy award winner' tag in front of their name.

I love fried okra. The fact that it's okra makes me feel like it's good for you - I forget the fact that it's fried.

I don't really think that audiences are that much different. I think that a fan is the same whether you are from here or from Japan - you come to a show because you like the music. I don't really see much of a difference anywhere.

I grew up in an age where I loved going and buying a physical record. Things that were digital and all that stuff, it wasn't around. So I loved going and buying an album and looking through the inserts and reading stuff and seeing pictures.

I think my music is definitely country but it's got a little bit of that rock flair about it. I always try to find the things that everyday people deal with in their everyday lives and situations in the songs that I sing.

I don't think I really have any wisdom. Stay out of trouble. Good luck. Stay away from women because they will burn you, haha.

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.
