The music has to drive you. That's just it. You follow it. You follow the songs.

Sometimes, I work a little more from emotion than I do from rational thought.

In an age of social media and content being key, it's important to change the mold where you have $100,000 to $150,000 for one video. I hired some guys that are young, just out of college, and we used some new, far-less-expensive cameras and technology to make videos.

My preference is 3,000, maybe 5,000-seat venues.

I'm from Oklahoma. I mean, you can't have good hair in Oklahoma. That's why everyone wears hats. The wind just messes it up.

I do have to step out and take time to let people know that I'm Ronnie Dunn and not Brooks and Dunn.

When I get all focused on songwriting, I get into all the marketing and promotion that we do to make it happen. Then the right song comes along and blows it all out of the water. The right song will do it for you every time.
