I don't ever land on an album title until I know exactly what's going on the record, because you never know until it's all said and done.

I came from a rural background, and I didn't come in contact with a lot of wealthy people.

I love Jesus Christ with all my heart and everything He stands for. I think that sums up everything that I want for my life, everything I want for my family, everything I want for my career. I want it to be entertaining. I want people to smile and tap their toes, but I want it to be meaningful when the day is done.

I'm normally the guy that stands off in the corner.

My first full year of touring, I did 300 days on the road. That was not including the travel time or publicity or anything else - that was just dates. I was home probably less than 50 days that year.

I'm always showing pictures off. I have to be careful who I show them to because of who I am, obviously, but I'm a proud father.

My dream was to go to Nashville. I had my sights set on my dream. I used to have an '89 Toyota Ford truck. On the front of the truck, I had this license plate with cowboy boots and a guitar that I had airbrushed at Wal-Mart. It said 'Chasin' A Dream.' That was kind of my motto.
