I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.

But I say to Apple with all due respect, we don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.

I know that if things hadn't gone the way they did then I wouldn't be where I am now.

It doesn't bother me when people try to deconstruct my songs - because at least they're looking at the lyrics, and paying attention to the way the story is told.

It's human nature to not say everything that's on your mind at the time you think it. Because we fear saying something that people will laugh at, people will think is dumb. We're afraid of being embarrassed.

Try things. Laugh a lot. Mess up. Apologize. Hug people. Take chances. Trust yourself. Lose things. Get over it.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you're going to get. You know it's going to be an all-day party.
