The DVR thing has rocked my world. Being on the road, I used to not keep up with any shows. Now I got a DVR, so I’m watching everything: ‘CSI: Miami,’ my favorites ‘Criminal Minds’...

As a new artist, you come out, and there are so many other new artists. It seems like there’s a whole wave of new artists that come along every year. In ’05, I was part...

I grew up listening to everything. And rock and roll has always been a big, big part of it – as big a part of what I do as any other type of music.

My main lucky number is 9. That was my baseball number in high school. My other lucky number is 3, because that’s the one I wore before I got to high school and had to...

Now one thing I think is really lame, is if you’re an artist and you go to a karaoke bar and sing your own song. I like to get up there and sing stuff that...

I grew up listening to all kinds of music, everything from country to rock, pop, R&B and even rap, so for me, music is music and a great song is a great song.

Why are you always on the verge of goodbye, before I’ll show you how I really feel inside.

I don’t think I really have any wisdom. Stay out of trouble. Good luck. Stay away from women because they will burn you, haha.

I’m a country boy. I’m from Georgia.

I think every artist wants to have that ‘Grammy award winner’ tag in front of their name.

Our first No. 1 was ‘Why’ and we waited two years to have another one. It felt like forever, and now I feel like I’m celebrating one every few months, which I love.

You have record companies that sign acts that they think are great, and then they never do anything. Acts that they don’t think are really going to do much end up having a career. I...

It’s one of those things where if I do a movie, I don’t even know if I’m any good. So, I may do one and it sucks and I’m a horrible actor, and I’ll never...

I do believe that if it’s meant to be, it will be. Luckily for me, things worked out.

I got a hat deal with Resistol, where I have my own line of cowboy hats.

I’m very particular about the kind of music that I record and sing, and it would be the same way about the kind of movies that I would do.

I’ve been wearing Wrangler jeans for more than a decade now, all the way back to when I first started playing clubs in my teens in Georgia.

Records are one thing, and obviously, without hit songs, you don’t have the opportunity to do your shows. But my live show has always been my selling tool.

People see you onstage and the glamorous side, but they don’t see you traveling 600 miles a night, eating truck stop food and spending by yourself staring at walls.

My producer, Michael Knox, he’s kind of my eyes and ears on Music Row. While I’m out on the road, he’s looking for songs, and then he and I will get together and go over...

I had no idea ‘Big Green Tractor’ was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can’t predict those things.

It feels good when your hometown supports you, and Macon’s always done that with us. Every time we come here, it’s an event – which is nice.

I think from an artist standpoint, you have to put out music that you feel like represents you and things you feel like your crowd wants to hear. And if that drives them to go...

That’s kind of fuse for the show – those first 10-15 seconds you’re onstage. The curtain drops and you see the crowd for the first time and they see you for the first time. The...

The worst gig story I have is from a club in Alabama that I think is still up and running, so I won’t name the name of the club. We got hired in there to...

Playing a stadium is a big adrenaline boost for me and I dig it. It keeps me on my toes and makes me revamp everything I’m doing and not get stagnant with how I approach...

I know I’m not gonna please everybody when I make a record. I don’t let that affect any of my decisions.

It’s the only time that I’m ever nervous on stage, is when we’re doing live TV. Especially an awards show, because I know you can’t fix it.

After my first No. 1 song back in 2006, I worried I may never have another one.

When I was a kid, we went to St. Augustine, Fla., and I was lying on the couch one night with a Q-tip, cleaning my ear out after I’d taken a shower. I hit my...

I have a love of baseball and a love of music.

The only person that anybody’s ever said I resemble is a young Elvis. It used to happen a lot more when I was younger, and more when I don’t wear a hat.

The ‘Night Train’ has already been a crazy ride for me. We flew around making TV appearances and stadium announcements all over the country, fueled by little more than coffee and adrenaline… so many fans...

‘She’s Country’ obviously changed a lot of things for us and pretty much, I think, doubled our crowd size in just a few months time.

If you say, ‘I’m going to cut this song because I know the teenagers are going to love it,’ well, then you’re going to alienate everybody else. When I cut my record, I’m just going...

I can definitely relate to a few things in the song. Going mudding on a dirt road, going to football games, I did a few of those things.

I love playing music. And that’s what it’s all about.

There are people out there who are into traditional country music and for those people you have artists like Brad Paisley and Josh Turner and Alan Jackson. Then you have artists with a progressive style...

We call them impact songs, and people buy impact songs. But you just never know what those songs are going to be. One of those songs that really went through the roof for us was...

You don’t want to get too ahead of yourself and go out thinking you can play stadiums every night, and they end up being about half-full.

I had an opportunity to play baseball in college, but I just didn’t want to go to school. I started focusing on my music and it was game over!

I think he’s just a great songwriter, and obviously, artist-wise, that speaks for itself.

I would say, ‘Go ask any couple that’s been married for 30, 40, 50 years… It hasn’t always been roses.’

There’s nothing cooler than a good fitting, worn-in pair of Wrangler jeans, so it’s great that with the new Retro line, my fans can go out and rock the same styles that I love.

Alabama – they were the masters of that. They could come out with ‘Mountain Music’ or ‘Tennessee River’ and then turn around and come out with ‘Feels So Right.’ Go out and have fun and...

For every album, I look at where I’m at in my career and think of a title that kind of represents that. And for me, ‘Night Train’ was kind of a metaphor for where things...

She’s young and the world’s wide open.

I love fried okra. The fact that it’s okra makes me feel like it’s good for you – I forget the fact that it’s fried.

I got off stage and this guy walked up to me. He’s like this ball of energy. His name was Lawrence Mathis, a manager. He said. ‘I like what you’re doing, and I’d like to...

You’re not going to hear me singing songs about Wall Street because I don’t know anything about that.
