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

Every night before bed, I rub my wife's feet. She says they're the best foot rubs on Earth.

My thing is, when you put a bunch of rules on a tour, you have to hire three more people to enforce all the rules. So, with me, I want everyone to feel comfortable. It's a lot of little moving parts out here, and little hiccups will come. At the end of the day, the show's going to go on, and I want everybody to truly enjoy it.

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.

I'll always have songs with a farm connotation on my albums. It's in the fabric of my music, and I plan to keep it that way.

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

When I'm writing a song, it's just me and the songwriters. Then when the song is done, there are publishers that hear it, then people in my management, then my wife and my boys and my friends, and if they're all lovin' it, it's kind of withstanding all the criticism I need.
