It's important that adults get along with each other for the child's sake, and that is our situation.

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 biggest question I have is if you're a rock singer or a rock 'n' roll band, or if you're a pop singer if you've made your way in another genre of music and now you want to make a country record, why? That's my question. Why?

I think every artist would love to just please themselves musically all day long.

I'm proud to have so many great friends at country radio who believe in what I do - thanks to all of them.

For me, I wanted somebody that got me musically, that understood that I'm an artist and this is who I am. I'm not going to be like another artist on your label, probably - hopefully. I found all those things with the Broken Bow group.

My first record deal was an independent record deal back in 1995 or early 1996.
