When I Was Playing For Tips In

My Mind Is Constantly Going. For Me To Completely Relax, I Gotta Get Rid Of My Cell Phone.

I Do Sing About Drinking, But It's In A Party Way. I Don't Sing About Drinking In A Drowning-my-sorrows Way, Like In George Jones's "if Drinking Don't Kill Me (her Memory Will)."

Music's Supposed To Come From The Heart. I Felt Like That If It Ever Got Mechanical, I Was Going To Back Away From It.

I Needed To Be Pushed As An Artist And As A Person.

My Elementary School Is Still There [in Luttrell, Tennessee]. I Drop By My High School. It's A Small Community. I Say This Every Night Before I Do The Song 'the Boys Of Fall' In The Show - I'm Really Happy About Where I Grew Up And How I Grew Up.
