A lot of people play to impress, but the really gifted ones play to move. That's the greatest point of ever doing this.

I've always been the high harmony singer. It's never my job to know the verses! But I know the chorus of every song ever made.

I formally proposed. I'm a good Southern gentleman.

Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.

My mom said, "What I want is a happy kid, not a rich kid. That's what I root for." She saw how much joy I got from playing music, and those years were leaner than lean!

It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.

This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It's what I perceive as country music is about.
