In my mind, as long as I did what was right for me, I was cool. But that's not the way it works. You have to think about other people and take their feelings into account.

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

I believe there's things all around us that make you do good things and some that make you do bad things.

Sometimes you have to listen to other people, and see what the audiences want. That's what entertaining is about.

Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.

I can't sing anything other than country!

I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas - that's my favorite of all!
