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

Australia is breathtakingly beautiful, and I can't wait to visit again.

It doesn't really matter to me what the rest of country is doing. I'm not caught up in trying to make a record that sounds like everybody else. That, to me, is a record label's absolute biggest downfall.

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

In my mind, as long as I did what was right for me, I was cool. But that's not the way it works. You have to think about other people and take their feelings into account.

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

Winning the ACM, winning the CMA, my first time on the Opry and having Grammy nominations were all a big deal to me.
