I've learned to never underestimate the impossible.

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.

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

You know, I can be the happiest man in the world with minimal record success.

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.

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.

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.
