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.

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.

My message to kids who bully other kids is: You know it's wrong! What's really going on? Try not to make somebody else's life miserable because you are.

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

Everything that's cool that happens, I look at my wife and I say, 'We need to enjoy this moment right here! This is really special!'
