One of my pet peeves about Nashville is that it tends to be copycatted. I don't want to do that. I've got to be different.
I'm good at anything that's country - biscuits, gravy, chicken-fried steak. Look at me, for God's sake. I cook what I like to eat.
I'm not the kind of person who thrives in 'the scene.'
Stop using the word 'bromance.' Can we please kill that stupid term? We're just friends. It's called friendship!
I lost my brother in a car wreck when I was 14 years old. When I decided I wanted to be a country singer, my dad always told me, 'Son, you should write a song about your brother.'
If there's one thing special about me, it's that I seem familiar. People feel like I live next door.
Even if it's your wedding, if you're a guy, it's boring.
When I hear other artists talk, they talk about 'How come radio's not playing my song?' Well, you have to look at it under a microscope and know that each station is just trying to do what's right for their market, and it's scary for a radio station to add a song that they don't know how well it's gonna do for them.
I still love farming and gardening and things like that in the summertime.
There's something actually more intimidating about playing a small, intimate room. Your mistakes are that much more under the microscope.
The way my family always did Christmas was on Christmas Eve, it wasn't really centered around a dinner on Christmas Eve. It was more about keeping the kids calm. Sometime after dark is when we were going to open all the presents underneath the tree from Mom, Dad and the kids and everything - just the family presents was every Christmas Eve.
I can't say that I've ever actually got on a horse and roped a cow, no.
If you're not offending one group of people, you're not entertaining the other.
When things go wrong or don't turn out the way you pictured them in your head, you just have to go with the best intentions defense. I have a lot of good intentions.
