It's not just in my industry... everything is so sensationalized that there's not a lot of heart and soul in a lot of things there used to be heart and soul in.
Things that made me happy five, six years ago don't make me happy anymore.
There's this idea that somebody's job could be more important than somebody else's, and to me, that's not true.
He's a school teacher in the Knoxville school system and has been for a long time. And even though I didn't live with my dad, and mom says we're just alike, talk alike, walk alike, and we definitely look a lot alike...but he's very, very supportive of what I'm doing. One thing that dad did, even though I wasn't living with him, he helped me pay for college and that was a really cool thing,
I need it all and I need it now' was my mentality before. I used to rush everything to get it done.
I think it is important for this record to finally get out to remind people I'm not in tabloids for a living.

The last time I played this stadium was with George Strait.
When she brought that song to me, I felt like I had something to wrap the rest of the record around, ... Who You'd Be Today was the universal song that I didn't have that I now had, and I was able to go from there and find a few other things that were pieces of the puzzle.
I would like to be married and have kids. I would like to do that... Yes, I could see me settling down at some point.
In all the years that I've been doing this, I've never launched a tour and launched an album at basically the same time. Doing one of those things is enough!
So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.
