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

I think it's always important to constantly keep the band on their toes and try new things that you hope will work. That's how 'Apologize' was born, and maybe down the line another little song will be born by that mentality. I've always really liked that song.

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

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.

'Tailgate Blues' is kind of a lyrical masterpiece of a country song.

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

Growing up in Georgia, my dad was a farmer and we worked in agriculture, so we were always looking up at the sky, checking if rain was in the forecast. That always set the tone for the mood in my household, whether we had rain coming in or not - we knew the crops would be good and it was going to be a good week around the Bryan household.
