I'm a big sports fan in general.

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.

I think 'Country Girl' is one song that can veer into country or hip-hop or rap. You can listen to it and enjoy the humor and the fun in it.

As far as heroes thorough the years, I’d say definitely Alabama and Randy Owen, Conway Twitty was a big influence of mine, George Strait, Lionel Richie.

If I wake up one day and people tell me I'm not sexy, I'm not going to stop making good music and having fun. That 'sex symbol' thing is typically part of being in the limelight. You better be very talented in your music, but it's good to be nice to look at, I guess.

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

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