Life is about holding on and letting go.

Let water wash our bodies clean, and love wash our souls.

At the end of the day, the Grammys are about recognizing genres that are making an impact.

Take your records, take you freedom, take your memories, I dont need 'em. And take your cat, and leave my sweater, cause we've got nothing left to weather.

There are certain songs that are sacred. People want to hear them just as they are in their head; they don't want you messing around with them. And then there are some other songs, if they've been around a long time in our set list, that I think we can take some creative liberties with.

A song like 'Once in a Lifetime' is inspired by my marriage - it's a good, life-changing happening in my life. I think when you find your once-in-a-lifetime love, that's what everybody's looking for.

I think it took me a while to convince Nashville that what I do is genuine and my heart's in the right place, and I love country music.
