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.

You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.

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

If there are people out by the bus, I'll come off the bus and sign autographs, too. I always want to be accessible. I always tell my fans, 'If I ever get on the bus and don't come off, it's because I'm under the weather or I'm really tired.'

You never take your fans for granted. You always appreciate them every show, night in, night out.

I will always really work hard to write as much as I can, but I also love sitting back and waiting on those big Nashville songwriters to send me some great songs, too.

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