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

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.

My first memories of music were country music and Ronnie Milsap. Where I grew up, it was what you listened to. And anything else, you were somewhat out of place.

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

That's gotta be the one remaining constant - jeans have gotta be tight, baby.

I'm a really, really optimistic and really, really positive person. My main thing is, 'Enjoy life. Celebrate life.'

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.
