It really wasn't until I realized that country music had a whole underworld of songwriters that I dug into it.

We wanted to make a living, but success was creating a song that we enjoyed playing. Quite honestly, that is still a measure of success for us.

As writers, you spend so long trying to build your cred as a writer, and then everything comes together at the same time: your artist career happens when your songwriter career is, too.

I can't imagine being a girl out there on the road. We can throw a hat on and stink. Girls have to do their hair.

We don't want to be the standard thing. We're more interested in having people hate us than glaze over us. We'd rather have a reaction than be in the middle.

I think that's one of the hardest parts as an artist, and creating a career, is the song is what is gonna lead you there. So it's hard to find great songs.

We never really dreamed of being a band until it just naturally happened. All of a sudden, we were like, 'Maybe we should take this kind of seriously, because people seem to like it.'

When we come on the radio, people will go, 'That's Old Dominion,' 'cause it's a sound that can only be made by whatever the five of us make together.

You definitely want your own fans, but you also want the support of your peers and the people you work with.

Sometimes when you're writing a song, it's work, and you really have to make sure you're kind of pounding out every little piece of it. And then sometimes you write a song, and you turn around and you go, 'How did we do that?'
