To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.

I stand by the stuff I say, even the really stupid stuff. I'll find a way to justify it.

I probably have the crappiest tattoo -- not only in country music -- but maybe the world.

I always make a joke that they transplanted Martina McBride's eyes and put them in my head.

I'm not that smart, but I'm smart enough to know that if Usher wants to help you, you let him.

I love my band - they are the best out there, and I wouldn't want to perform with anyone else.

I think that men should wear shoes that if there's an emergency, they're gonna be able to help.

The wussiest thing a guy can do is drive a clean truck. Dents, scratches and mud - that's manly.

I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early '90s. That time period was my favorite.

If I had to choose my best day ever, my finest hour, my wildest dream come true, mine would be you.

If we had known our love would come to this we could have saved our hearts the hurt of wasted years.

If there's one thing special about me, it's that I seem familiar. People feel like I live next door.

I want to stand for something, and it's probably going to be something that some people stand against.

It is one of the most validating things for an artist like me, to have people sing along to your songs.

I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.

I totally remove myself from any costumes, wardrobe, any choreography. I could care less about that stuff.

Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you

I talked to Carolyn Dawn Johnson about doing a duet with her a few times, and we just haven't gotten it done.

I hate reality shows. But if I had to be on one, I'd have to say 'Realtree Road Trips' on the Outdoor Channel.

Stop using the word 'bromance.' Can we please kill that stupid term? We're just friends. It's called friendship!

I think every cute girl is told to move to L.A. someday. So I do like the drive over from my house to the studio.

AT&T sucks. There's no excuse for being in downtown Los Angeles, and your phone loses service. That's ridiculous.

That's when the dream is so far off it seems like it will never happen. It can be most anything you want it to be.

I didn't grow up playing video games. I grew up catching crawdads in the creek and minnows and lizards and snakes.

Not everybody in the country-music community is like me - I just happen to be one of the guys that is stereotypical.

In country music, one of the ways we may have gone wrong in the past is trying to be politically correct all the time.

Going to college and studying music is not a bad idea at all. I don't know if you can go to college and be taught heart.

My favorite songs to sing have always been songs about regret. I don't know why that is, but to me, that's country music.

The Doobie Brothers' 'What a Fool Believes' makes me want to move. And I still haven't gotten over the Macarena. Who has?

As a country singer, there is only one place you dream of playing in your lifetime, and that is the Grand Ole Opry House.

One of my pet peeves about Nashville is that it tends to be copycatted. I don't want to do that. I've got to be different.

If I have one, I'll have thirteen. No, there ain't no in-betwee. Cuz the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink.

My favorite thing about Los Angeles is there are businesses that you can call, and they will deliver groceries to your house.

For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.

I'm good at anything that's country - biscuits, gravy, chicken-fried steak. Look at me, for God's sake. I cook what I like to eat.

Anytime that the Arizona Cardinals play football, I scream at the top of my lungs at the television. And I have certain dances that I do.

Whoa!!! I heard I offended one of my all time favorite artists Ray Price by my statement “Nobody wants to listen to their grandpas music.

I had so much fun playing songs from 'Based On A True Story...' and getting to see the crowd's reaction to those songs was unforgettable.

There's something actually more intimidating about playing a small, intimate room. Your mistakes are that much more under the microscope.

I always wished I had a song like that George Strait song, 'The Chair', 'cause it's basically just a guy trying to pick up a girl at a bar.

When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'

Because of Twitter, I think people know most every single thing about me. I don't know if there's anything that would surprise people about me.

I'm not too big on cats, and sometimes I'll say something like that, and people get so mad at me. But the truth is, I don't care if they get mad.

I would not want to be Richard Simmons... right now or anytime. He seems like a nice guy, but if I had to dress like that? That would absolutely suck.

Don't bother tellin' me what I've got comin' in the morning... I already know. I've got some feel good pills and a red Gatorade by my bed, ready to go!

What you need to know about me is that I always just wanted to be a country singer. I didn't choose the path of television or being on magazine covers.

I remember telling the head of Warner Brothers that if they'd just make a video for 'Ol' Red'... and if it didn't work, they could drop me from the label.

I like California but I'm dyed-in-the-wool Oklahoma. I see a deer in L.A., and everybody's standing around it taking pictures. Back home, that's the enemy!

If you're callin' 'bout my heart, it's still yours / I should've listened to it a little more / Then it wouldn't have taken me so long / To know where I belong

I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there, take your vows, and be married to them for the rest of your life.
