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

It's always a pleasure to perform for people who love country music. And Australians definitely fall into that category. Each time I go back, I learn something new about the country, and I get to see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

The Dalai Lama's entire being is about peace and harmony, forgiveness and self-discipline. Those are qualities to be admired. I am really looking forward to meeting His Holiness.

I don't think there's anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it.

Life on the road is very different from a normal, day to day life, and sometimes that surrealistic existence can have an effect on you, you tend to forget that's not really how things are supposed to be. But there comes a point where you have to pace yourself and find a place in your mind where you can be real.

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

I enjoy every minute, because there are going to be a lot of moments in your future that you're going to wish you held onto longer.
