I'm proud to have so many great friends at country radio who believe in what I do - thanks to all of them.

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

I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas - that's my favorite of all!

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

The passion for doing music, the passion that I have for going out and playing it live - my love for country music is back.

Anybody can get lost in themselves.

I've certainly had to bite my tongue on occasion and live to fight another day, so to speak, on certain things. But when you're new and fresh, you come out and think, 'I don't want to screw my chance up, so I'll go along with what everybody else does.'
