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

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

I'm a traditional country singer and we're always trying to make that a fresh and modern sound. That's always going to be the challenge with me.

Everything that's cool that happens, I look at my wife and I say, 'We need to enjoy this moment right here! This is really special!'

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.

My first record deal was an independent record deal back in 1995 or early 1996.
