Australia is breathtakingly beautiful, and I can't wait to visit again.

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.

Music is also supposed to be fun. On this record, (titled 'III'), I really had the desire again to jump back into some good-time, fun-loving songs.

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

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

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

I think it's a natural fit, major league baseball and country music.
