My thing is you just have to try to feel young and stay young. Obviously you get a little older, but I still want my music to be young. I don't want to sound like an old dad onstage, so you just have to write music that sounds young.

People hear me talk and they know my background and they immediately stereotype me as being a real, real country guy, and that's the right stereotype. But you also want people to know you're a little broader than that, too.

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

Anytime you have a fellow artist say, 'Loving the new Luke Bryan album,' that's awesome.

My dad is very successful in his business. He's always been big in having hobbies and having little ways to get away. He always made time for hunting and fishing. He always encouraged me to do it.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

I thought being on stage was an amazing feeling, but there is nothing that can top watching my wife bring our son into this world.
