If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a little of that, too.' That can be tough to resist.

I was probably nine or ten the first time I heard there was no Santa Claus.

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

When people have passion there's nothing they can't do.

I enjoy every minute, because there are going to be a lot of moments in your future that you're going to wish you held onto longer.

I wanted to make a traditional record that had a lot of art and showed my vulnerable side and showed things I'm passionate about.

The Lord has blessed me more than I deserve.
