I dont take my fans love and dedication for granted.

I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.

I used to only worry about the #1's and all of the awards. But that was a long time ago.

If I can make a connection, one connection, to any one listener in the world, I consider that successful.

Sometimes all it takes is just a smile to change somebody's weather.

When you are real in your music, people know it and they feel your authenticity.

I am grateful for all the military families that I've met. I wanted to spread hope and cheer to all; little did I know that they would be the ones to change my life the way they have!
