Life's up and down from the time you get here to the time you leave.

Alcohol is perfect for me to curb the nerves a little bit.

Every day I wake up and I lay in bed counting my blessings and saying my prayers for how fortunate I am to have great fans and health and family.

To have your first No. 1 as an artist was everything I could have ever dreamed for. Now we're keeping our fingers crossed, and hopefully we'll have many more, but there's certainly nothing like the first one.

I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan base.

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

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.
