Probably fishing is my first passion.

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'm kind of at a point in my career where I can get away with traditional stuff and then get away with some more rocky and pop and edgier stuff, too.

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

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.

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.

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.
