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.'

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

I married a woman who's not going to take anything. No slips. She's very accountable, and she holds me very accountable.

I can't sing anything other than country!

I am a sports fanatic and being able to perform at halftime for the fans of the Steelers and the Jets is such a thrill for me.

For me, I wanted somebody that got me musically, that understood that I'm an artist and this is who I am. I'm not going to be like another artist on your label, probably - hopefully. I found all those things with the Broken Bow group.

The Lord has blessed me more than I deserve.
