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

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.

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.'

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

It's pretty cool to see how far music can take you.

I would say my fraternity was nothing but a bunch of farm boys; we weren't really in the whole fraternity scene, but yeah, that's a safe assessment of who I am. I've lived that life, growing up in agriculture and then going off to college and joining a fraternity, livin' that life.

I'm a big sports fan in general.
