Learning to not be selfish is what has changed in me the most since being married.

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

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

No, I don't think I'm ever going to get serious.

One of my all-time favorite country singers is a guy named Conway Twitty.

I've burned the trash a few times and it got away from me. I've caught the yard on fire. I've burnt up some acreage and had to call the fire department a couple of times.

The only thing you can do to make catfish edible is fry them.

When things go wrong or don't turn out the way you pictured them in your head, you just have to go with the best intentions defense. I have a lot of good intentions.

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 still love farming and gardening and things like that in the summertime.

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.

I like bubble baths.

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

I love getting the pontoon boat out, and I don't get to do it as much anymore. If I know in two weeks or a month from now I've got three days off, I can start planning for that stuff, getting out there with friends and family and relaxing, just floating around and hanging out.

I lost my brother in a car wreck when I was 14 years old. When I decided I wanted to be a country singer, my dad always told me, 'Son, you should write a song about your brother.'

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.

Somebody will come on TV singing, and you're like, 'Oh my God! I mean, they suck! You know, who signed them?' Well, it's just because she's good lookin', or it's because he's takin' his shirt off and he's muscley or something, or else he wouldn't have gotten his chance.

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

Nobody's gonna beat Taylor Swift in a fan-voted thing. And nobody should, by the way.

Cee Lo is the coolest human being I have ever met in my life.

One thing that you can't fake is chemistry.

Country music has to evolve in order to survive.

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.

I think the worst thing you can do is blend in. Why would you ever want to blend in?

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

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

I have family in Oklahoma City.

If you're not offending one group of people, you're not entertaining the other.

God-dang-it, country music is my heart.

I'm a country artist first and just happen to be on television doing it.

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

Jason Aldean is actually probably a really good rapper. He sounds like it to me.

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

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.

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

I hate pigs. I hate goats.

I can't say that I've ever actually got on a horse and roped a cow, no.

When you start dating another country star, the first question is, 'When are y'all gonna do a duet?' And what sucks about that is people expect you to do it whether you want to or not.

My critics are pretty tough. I've never been one of the music industry's pets.

I'm not a summertime guy. The only time I really enjoy the summer is touring and performing because there is nothing else for me to do at home. It's too hot, and you can't farm. You can't hunt.

Anybody that has followed closely what I've been doing can see from 'Home,' being as big a hit as it was, it kind of opened the door for me to try new things musically.

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.

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 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.

I'm not the kind of person who thrives in 'the scene.'

I think just knowing you're married and having that in the back of your mind all the time - it sounds official, but it doesn't really feel any different. We don't do anything differently than we did before.

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

Every day, somebody has a song they want you to hear, and you're stupid if you don't listen to it because you never know what you may find.

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