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.

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.

People hear me talk and they know my background and they immediately stereotype me as being a real, real country guy, and that's the right stereotype. But you also want people to know you're a little broader than that, too.

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

I'm a little drunk on you, and high on summertime.

If I wake up one day and people tell me I'm not sexy, I'm not going to stop making good music and having fun. That 'sex symbol' thing is typically part of being in the limelight. You better be very talented in your music, but it's good to be nice to look at, I guess.

Nothing is more rewarding than to take a song, create it out of thin air and then watch it affect people.
