Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.

I always want to have a personal relationship with everybody that works for me.

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

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

I've been so blessed to have my career gradually get bigger and bigger, so I've been able to absorb stuff and take stuff gradually.

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.

There's always gonna be guys who are just wonderful singers and probably shouldn't be writing songs. Then there's always gonna be guys who move up the ranks writing. I don't know what's healthier or what's the best thing - probably whatever yields the best songs.
