The world is getting so reality-driven these days. It seems to be accelerating exponentially. But it's a dangerous game for a lot of people.

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.

And now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive.

I love the beginnings of artists when all they've got is raw talent and nothing else.

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.

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

I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.
