I love playing the CMA Music Festival each year because it's one of the very best audiences you could hope for. It's one of the places you can perform where you know everyone there is a big Country Music fan.

I have always loved Waffle House. It's been like an oasis in the desert many times late at night after one of my concerts.

I've never been trained as an actor. I'm no Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Johnny Depp.

I don't do the same show on any two nights.

People get passionate about a song. It's been my experience if you put out radio candy, something commercial, it doesn't sell records.

I only record songs that I really like and believe in and can sing with conviction.
