I make no apologies for being a huge fan of radio songs.

I'm grateful when anybody can start to have his or her limited perception of the genre open up a little bit. There's a lot of great music in the country genre that doesn't get heard because people say, 'Well, I don't like country.'

I've always been a pretty private, quiet kind of person and so I haven't had to change my life really at all, I don't think.

Everybody needs somebody sometimes.

Someone said one time, 'If your marriage isn't your priority, you're not married,' and I thought, for me that's so true. So as long as I keep her as a priority, everything else sort of seems to work. And when I don't keep it as a priority, it's ... Jenga.

Being with my family is very important to me, and touring is very important to me, too, because it's who I am. It's what I do.

My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it.
