I'm a big sports fan in general.

If there are people out by the bus, I'll come off the bus and sign autographs, too. I always want to be accessible. I always tell my fans, 'If I ever get on the bus and don't come off, it's because I'm under the weather or I'm really tired.'

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 always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

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.

A big part of country music is a way of life, at least from my standpoint. That's how I craft my music from my own life experiences.

I am just what I am, I'm just what you see. So I'll make it easy, I'll stay me.
