Being famous is uncomfortable because I grew up very simply. Everything revolved around friends, family, church and sports.

the more you live the more things reflect all around you!!!!

Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.

When I'm offstage, I never feel famous. I will never let anybody call a restaurant and say, "We're with Kenny Chesney. Can you get us in?" That's so pretentious. I'm pretty simple except for the fact that I have a really great boat and a little bit of money. When I'm offstage I don't feel like the person everybody sees.

In 1994 I bought my first tour bus. I still own it and believe it or not it's still out on the road on my tour.

People who can't kiss had everything given to them.

When I try to brush the road dust off of me and untangle all the wires in my head, I'm usually surrounded by music on a boat. But that's not how I wake up every day.
