Luke Bryan

“You never take your fans for granted. You always appreciate them every show, night in, night out.”

“It's pretty cool to see how far music can take you.”

“My path is exactly where I want it to be. I'm doing my thing. I'm getting better with every album.”

“You see a lot of people out there that say they're country, and they do their little things that are stereotypical country things, but being country is a way of life.”

“Anytime I sing the anthem, it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.”

“I would like to be a heart surgeon or brain surgeon... something with that knowledge and the ability to save a life would be pretty cool. I wasn't that good in science class, though.”

“Anything I've ever read by John Irving has been really well written.”

“Our crew guys, it's amazing what they have to go through to make a show happen every night.”

“That's gotta be the one remaining constant - jeans have gotta be tight, baby.”

“My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me.”

“I used to work at my dad's peanut mill, and worked 15 hours a day, 6 days a week. So, now, riding around on a nice tour bus and doing shows, you'd have to get picky to have a downside.”

“I'll never forget when me and Jason Matthews wrote the line, 'Don't be a tape player hater,' in 'Country Man,' I don't think I ever laughed harder. We didn't know where we were gonna put that in a song, but we knew we had to make it into a song. I just remember laughing and being so proud of such a goofy little line.”

“I thought being on stage was an amazing feeling, but there is nothing that can top watching my wife bring our son into this world.”

“There's always gonna be guys who are just wonderful singers and probably shouldn't be writing songs. Then there's always gonna be guys who move up the ranks writing. I don't know what's healthier or what's the best thing - probably whatever yields the best songs.”

“My main thing is I'm gonna go out there every night and give it all I got and just try to put on the best show I can. That's just the way I'm programmed and wired.”

“I've been so blessed to have my career gradually get bigger and bigger, so I've been able to absorb stuff and take stuff gradually.”

“Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.”

“From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.”

“It's a good community, country music, because we get the chance to sit down and... me and Tim McGraw spend a lot of time. Me and Kenny Chesney had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. It's been a lot of great advice through the years.”

“We're putting on a show, and if I'm dancing and having fun, you can take a shot of the crowd, and they've got smiles glued to their faces.”
