Just really, really believe in what you're trying to do. Don't let people alter that. Let people advise you and lead you down paths to make smart business decisions. But trust your instinct and trust that overwhelming drive that made you put all your dreams and everything on the line.

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

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.

I want to be comfortable on TV. If I'm comfortable, they're comfortable watching me. I think nothing's more icky than watching icky on TV.

My path is exactly where I want it to be. I'm doing my thing. I'm getting better with every album.

Probably fishing is my first passion.

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