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.

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

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

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.

I would like to be a heart surgeon or brain surgeon... something with that knowledge and the ability to save a life would be pretty cool. I wasn't that good in science class, though.

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