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.

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

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

I've learned to never underestimate the impossible.

I can't sing anything other than country!

My previous visits to Australia created fantastic memories, so I'm definitely looking forward to another visit. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I think every person in the entire country is nice. Seriously, I haven't seen or heard of a mean person yet. And they love country music.

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