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.

I'm always afraid of failing. I have to quiet that fear if I'm going to get up in the morning.

Fans are my favorite thing in the world.

My dad is a Chatty Cathy, the social butterfly; friendly; knows everybody in the whole world by six degrees; tells me that every performance is the greatest he's ever seen, every new outfit is the coolest. Constant cheerleader.

My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.

A great song will say how you feel better than you ever could.

You have celebrities who are pushed to the brink of a public meltdown, and so the public thinks that every person in the public eye has dirty secrets that they're keeping, or isn't what they seem, or is masking it and faking sincerity, faking authenticity, faking being surprised at award shows when you win a Grammy.
