It's always a pleasure to perform for people who love country music. And Australians definitely fall into that category. Each time I go back, I learn something new about the country, and I get to see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

The risks are 'How country can you go?' rather than 'How rock can you take it?'

You have to believe that things can be bigger than what you see in front of you in order to move forward.

My message to kids who bully other kids is: You know it's wrong! What's really going on? Try not to make somebody else's life miserable because you are.

I need to find a church on Sunday. I need to say 'please' and 'thank you,' 'yes sir' and 'no ma'am.' Do the little things because that's part of being an adult.

I married a woman who's not going to take anything. No slips. She's very accountable, and she holds me very accountable.

When you find great songs, and somehow you get a spark in a little way, it can become brand new.
