I think Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks would be the coolest duet partners. I look up to them so much for their work ethics.

There are times when I'm caught up in everything and I have to say to myself, "Please feel good; please feel better; everything's okay; you're fine; things aren't falling apart; take a second; get back to a place where you realize that you don't actually have real problems." That happens. You never know when those tables are gonna turn... For me, confidence is something that can come crashing down in one second.

Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn't just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction.

I'm intimidated by the fear of being average.

You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
