After I went to college, I realized that no matter how much I loved sports, I was ready to have fun, and that was right when I started to sing.

I want people to know that I'm not just 'Chillin' It.' I'm a real person. There's heartbreak and trials, and I hope I put that in my music.

I always say, 'If it looks good on a T-shirt, it would probably be a pretty cool title or cool song.'

I want to be somebody, a person, first that people remember, but also, I want music that I release to still be around. I don't want it to just be cool for a second and be gone.

Being a big Braves fan, Turner Field would be cool to play a show at.

Growing up, all I did was play sports. I always loved music, but I never even thought I'd be on stage one day.

That's why I've always loved country music. Whether it's sad, pumps you up, or it's breakup songs, it's all real-life things.

When I'm getting a chance to do my job or make somebody's day, and be on stage where I love, and see all the fans having fun, you can't help but smile.

A good imitation is the most perfect originality.

If African farmers can use improved seeds and better practices to grow more crops and get them to market, then millions of families can earn themselves a better living and a better life.

I know who I am, how I was. I don't want to know how I will be because nobody knows that.

I have yet to find a man worth his salt in any direction who did not think of himself first and foremost.

I always thought I was really thick.

Everything is global now. It's not London, it's not Spain, it's not Italy - everything is everywhere. So you have to be everywhere, I guess.

I just take every day is a miracle and I'm really glad that I'm still working and that people are not sick of me, even though even I'm sick of me a little bit.

Each of us has a responsibility for the sustainability of our planet and each of us can make a difference if we choose to do so.

It’s my luck that every time I feel I completely comprehend God’s plan, I don’t have a pencil with me.

Nothing is more important than honesty in prayer. There are no pretensions in prayer, so the best place to begin is wherever you are.
