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

I know I'm not gonna please everybody when I make a record. I don't let that affect any of my decisions.

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 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.

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

If you can go out with your live show and turn people on to that, where you have that fan base that's religious and they're going to come see you when you're in that town, once your radio success is gone and you're not a mainstream guy anymore you can still go out and play your shows.

Playing a stadium is a big adrenaline boost for me and I dig it. It keeps me on my toes and makes me revamp everything I'm doing and not get stagnant with how I approach every show, which is something I like.
