My first record deal was an independent record deal back in 1995 or early 1996.

When you find great songs, and somehow you get a spark in a little way, it can become brand new.

If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a little of that, too.' That can be tough to resist.

I recorded the song 'Believers' because I feel the song has a strong and much needed message. We all need encouragement and something to believe in.

I can't sing anything other than country!

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

Stubbornness and ignorance and determination are a very fine line from each other. I'm a very stubborn person, but not so stubborn that I can't learn new things and meet new people, but I have a one-track mind.
