Country seems to be finding a bigger audience. Certainly an audience out of the general country scene is finding me.

I tend to write better when I'm not touring.

I think the industry is oblivious to the fact that most people listen to all kinds of stuff. I personally don't know of anyone who listens to only one genre of music. It's vanity because no one does.

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.

It took a while for her to figure out she could run but when she did she was long gone, Long gone.

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.

I don't swear much; I've taken those words out of my vocabulary, and having kids, you have to have two sets of language!
