I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

When you get performance slots for award shows - that's a big deal for me.

It's a good community, country music, because we get the chance to sit down and... me and Tim McGraw spend a lot of time. Me and Kenny Chesney had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. It's been a lot of great advice through the years.

I'm a really, really optimistic and really, really positive person. My main thing is, 'Enjoy life. Celebrate life.'

From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.

Tangle me up like Grandma's yarn.

I got my iPad, and I'm trying to buy books on that, but I kind of like a book. At the end of my life, when I'm old, I want to have all these shelves full of books. So I'm just gonna do the book thing.
