You can write a book on how to ruin someone’s perfect day.

You have to able to make fun of yourself. Don't take things too seriously and when people make fun of you, laugh at it.

I think the first thing you should know is that nobody in country music 'made it' the same way. It's all different. There's no blueprint for success, and sometimes you just have to work at it.

I really believe we in the music industry can work together to find a way to bond technology with integrity and just really hope we can teach the younger generation the value of investment in music rather than the ephemeral consumption of it.

I want to write a song for someone who has just fallen in love or someone single and living their live.

Don't ever call a guy first. The thing they want the most is whatever they can't have. It sounds really juvenile, but it works.

And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that's fine with me!
