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.'

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

Sometimes you have to listen to other people, and see what the audiences want. That's what entertaining is about.

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

We have a good opportunity to be good parents right now.
