When you get performance slots for award shows - that's a big deal for me.

I always look back to awards shows and think about being a kid watching them.

My best artist friend is definitely Jason Aldean. He and I really get along great and are really great friends. It's fun to tour with a buddy and somebody that I just enjoy hanging out with. If we weren't touring together, we'd be hunting in the off-season still and knocking around doing stuff, certainly.

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.

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

I want to be comfortable on TV. If I'm comfortable, they're comfortable watching me. I think nothing's more icky than watching icky on TV.

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