My grandma was a huge believer, very spiritual, probably the most spiritual person I've ever known in my life.

No matter what you achieve in life, you're always wondering, 'Is there something I should be doing? Is there something I'm missing?

Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.

But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.

I've never turned my back on country music.

Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.

At this time when I turn 50, because so there's many of my friends and family who didn't get to see 50-years-old, and so, I'm celebrating for them too.
