I hate album covers where people are just smiling so big. It's like a neon sign that says PLEASE COME BUY ME.

My elementary school is still there [in Luttrell, Tennessee]. I drop by my high school. It's a small community. I say this every night before I do the song 'The Boys of Fall' in the show - I'm really happy about where I grew up and how I grew up.

I want to spend more time with my family.

My mind is constantly going. For me to completely relax, I gotta get rid of my cell phone.

The thing that I love, especially after sound check, is when I'm in that stadium alone. It's complete silence. I love that.

One of these days we're gonna have to grow up, have to get real jobs and be adults, someday, just not today.

As a songwriter, you're never off - for me, anyway. There's a certain mentality of people that decide, "Oh, we're going to try to write songs from this time of the day to this time of the day." Almost treat it like a real job. I can't do that. I've never been able to write songs like that. You never know when something creative is going to hit you, or emotion or whatever. You can take it, and turn it into something that makes somebody feel something. I love that about my job.
