You changed my life. You changed my ways. I don't even recognize myself these days. It must be a reflection of you, only you.
There's no soul in perfection.
I'm a little more comfortable in that role. I love being in the studio.
It's not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you're looking for songs all year long and you're writing all year long.
There are certain songs that are sacred. People want to hear them just as they are in their head; they don't want you messing around with them. And then there are some other songs, if they've been around a long time in our set list, that I think we can take some creative liberties with.
Days go by I can feel 'em flying like a hand out the window in the wind!
Being with my family is very important to me, and touring is very important to me, too, because it's who I am. It's what I do.
If it's a real dream it's uncrushable.
Someone said one time, 'If your marriage isn't your priority, you're not married,' and I thought, for me that's so true. So as long as I keep her as a priority, everything else sort of seems to work. And when I don't keep it as a priority, it's ... Jenga.
You go through life experiences. Each record captures a different turning point in my life.
Since I was a kid I just wanted to be in Nashville.
I've never wanted to name an album from a song title if I could avoid it because I like it to be a body of work.
We just wanted to present a better tone for 'Better Life,' and I had been down to New Orleans and was struck by a combination of things -- how much has been done and how little has been done. We just wanted to bring a little more awareness back to the cause down there.
There are certain things you want to go do together, and you want your mate to be there. But mostly you just try and, you know, pick places where you shouldn't be going because it's going to be too crazy.
