Keith Urban

“I'm a little more comfortable in that role. I love being in the studio.”

“The world is getting so reality-driven these days. It seems to be accelerating exponentially. But it's a dangerous game for a lot of people.”

“A song like 'Once in a Lifetime' is inspired by my marriage - it's a good, life-changing happening in my life. I think when you find your once-in-a-lifetime love, that's what everybody's looking for.”

“I've never wanted to name an album from a song title if I could avoid it because I like it to be a body of work.”

“I make no apologies for being a huge fan of radio songs.”

“I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.”

“I think there's just so many people in the world that don't feel understood, and when you hear a song and you go, 'Oh, that song understands me,' that's an amazing feeling. I get it when I listen to the radio... That's a beautiful part of music.”

“It's something I've always loved doing. I'm not one of the artists who comes in and just does my bit. I'm there every second of every day. That's my hands-on situation.”

“They're mostly done before we went into the studio, although I do like writing in the studio.”

“There are certain songs that are sacred. People want to hear them just as they are in their head; they don't want you messing around with them. And then there are some other songs, if they've been around a long time in our set list, that I think we can take some creative liberties with.”
