I want to see success right away. And I want to never give up, never stop.

Performing for the Dalai Lama - those are words I never imagined coming out of my mouth.

I don't think there's anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it.

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.

It doesn't really matter to me what the rest of country is doing. I'm not caught up in trying to make a record that sounds like everybody else. That, to me, is a record label's absolute biggest downfall.

Winning the ACM, winning the CMA, my first time on the Opry and having Grammy nominations were all a big deal to me.

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