When you really are country, and you don't just wear it like a piece of clothing or something, you really can't get away from it. It just is who you are

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.

When you come close to selling out, reconsider.

And to me, I had come out of Texas, and during that time was when I realized that a lot of people in Nashville, their idea of what country music was was not the same as mine.

And for the past 10 years Ive been in a real commercial setting where people are all about numbers, theyre all about that bottom line. So its nice to step out of that and hang out with a bunch of people who play music just because they love it, as you can imagine.

His smile brought back the best times, sweet memories of nights together... stirring up those old feelings that got me thinkin' bout forever.

I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.
