One word, that's all you said and something in your voice caused me to turn my head. Your smile just captured me.

The beauty is that it's all a part of this wonderful dream I had in college. It's beautiful to see what it's turned into. It's the journey that I'm most proud of.

Every Christmas my hometown radio station would always play 'Christmas In Dixie' by Alabama. I always remember lovin' that song.

The title [of the album 'The Big Revival']alone fit what I was feeling. It defined what I was going through. That year off was a time to revive, to reset, to reclaim, to revitalize and to re-focus. It was a revival of how I made music, how I presented it and my connection with the fans.

I had a notepad and I wrote down 30 things to make myself better just off the top of my head, and the next day I started to do that.

I have never said a negative thing about anybody, even when the whole world was saying I was gay because Renée Zellweger cited fraud.

Social topics may hit too close to home for people, but then again, if you pull a heartstring, then that's what country music is. It's not just songs about getting drunk and leaving your girl.
