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.

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.

You changed my life. You changed my ways. I don't even recognize myself these days. It must be a reflection of you, only you.

Getting on the bus and touring was my life. And when that was not around, I felt myself a bit lost at times, because that was all I had.

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.

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

Since I was a kid I just wanted to be in Nashville.
