My mom was a single mom, and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to, and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones.

Hearing people clapping draws you in pretty quick. It's like bungee cord jumping - it's a rush; you just want to do it again.

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.

I didn't get into music to become famous and I didn't get into music to become rich either - I got into because I liked it.

I don't think I really have any wisdom. Stay out of trouble. Good luck. Stay away from women because they will burn you, haha.

I think it's important to do things that you're interested in. I think it's important to have other outlets away from the music industry.

No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do. You can't please anybody.

I'm a country boy. I'm from Georgia.

There's nothing cooler than a good fitting, worn-in pair of Wrangler jeans, so it's great that with the new Retro line, my fans can go out and rock the same styles that I love.

I think country music is obviously a great form of music. I think it's cool and has mass appeal.

I want to make sure Kiara’s got a boyfriend who has more to offer than a hot bod and a face that could make angels weep.

He who does not enjoy solitude will not love freedom.

[When] opportunities present themselves, I take them. It's just how I roll!

There is a mystery in all great writing and that mystery does not dissect out. It continues and is always valid.

And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.

Don't over analyze your relationships.

My favourite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity.

Music is a male-dominated field. Women are not always taken as seriously as we should be, so sometimes we have to put our foot down.

People see me in powerful roles. That's what people want to see. That's what I want to do.

Usually I'm thinking about the palette. I'm thinking about the color for the most part, then I'll start thinking about composition and movement.
