“I was fortunate enough to have a situation in my life where everything did shake out and hit rock bottom, and I did see who was standing there and really saw who had my back for real.”

“When it came to country, I loved the stories.”
“There's a song called 'My Faith' that's kind of my spiritual song on my record. It's a little bit of my softer side of me, comin' out of left field a little bit.”
“A lot of things in my life changed, but I'm still a party animal. I'm leading the pack.”
“I don't sit down to write a number one hit. I'm not that good at my job - I don't know how to do that.”
“I'm sticking true to my roots.”
“We've got a lot of friends. We take care of them because they take care of us.”

“A friend is someone who supports you. And these people are buying tickets at outrageous ticket prices. If that ain't support, I don't know what is.”

“I don't write anything that I hadn't experienced or hadn't been through.”
“What you see is what you get, and the majority of people in my life that loan me clothes know that they've never seen me in a suit.”

“Most of my rings are not expensive at all; they're just things that remind me of people that gave 'em to me. And they all have their own stories, their own meanings.”
