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

I thought being on stage was an amazing feeling, but there is nothing that can top watching my wife bring our son into this world.

It's pretty cool to see how far music can take you.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

I got my iPad, and I'm trying to buy books on that, but I kind of like a book. At the end of my life, when I'm old, I want to have all these shelves full of books. So I'm just gonna do the book thing.

I would say my fraternity was nothing but a bunch of farm boys; we weren't really in the whole fraternity scene, but yeah, that's a safe assessment of who I am. I've lived that life, growing up in agriculture and then going off to college and joining a fraternity, livin' that life.

My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me.
