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.

It's very hard for me to say I'm sorry... but I do.

We have a good opportunity to be good parents right now.

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

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.

I would never do anything that makes the perception of country music worse.

The way that I am now, I don't want to accept mediocrity. I don't want to accept the easy road.
