Musician

I also have a different, softer side, and I want for people to hear that.

Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.

I think I find new idols every day - someone that says something really inspiring, is successful, has character.

My shows are always a mix of songs from all my albums with some rocking covers thrown in for fun.

The bigger you get, the more pressure you have to deal with.

I'm country through and through.

My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'

It's OK to have a little bit of curve.

Crunches only go so deep.

I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this crazy world right now.

Right now it seems like the girls are drawing more attention to country music.

If you're not polarizing, you failed, in my opinion.

It's important I deliver a great show and a good time.

I don't really like vegetables. But I'll eat them.

I really think that being yourself, being original, being outside the box is starting to be appealing to people.

I'm wide open and raw emotionally to the crowd.

Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.

I try not to get too ahead of myself. I try to be happy where I am.

My mom always says I cut my teeth on the church pew.

I'm married to my best friend!
