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

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.

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.

You want women to think of you in a sexy manner. It's all part of the business. It drives ticket sales. It's all a part of it.

Nothing is more frustrating to me than putting a song on an album and regret putting it on there. I'm excited that there are no songs on 'Tailgates & Tanlines' that I'm iffy about.

I've been so blessed to have my career gradually get bigger and bigger, so I've been able to absorb stuff and take stuff gradually.

I'm kind of at a point in my career where I can get away with traditional stuff and then get away with some more rocky and pop and edgier stuff, too.
