You get weird, funny requests on Twitter. With our fan club, I was seeing a lot of fans were having some issue with the way the fan club tickets were being handled in one of the shows. So I was able to correspond with that fan, and be like, 'Listen, we'll be on it.'

My main thing is I'm gonna go out there every night and give it all I got and just try to put on the best show I can. That's just the way I'm programmed and wired.

I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan base.

I don't keep diaries anymore; They're quite incriminating. I just keep all the dirt road diaries in my head.

I am just what I am, I'm just what you see. So I'll make it easy, I'll stay me.

I will always really work hard to write as much as I can, but I also love sitting back and waiting on those big Nashville songwriters to send me some great songs, too.

Life's up and down from the time you get here to the time you leave.
