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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I hate pigs. I hate goats.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have family in Oklahoma City.

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

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

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

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

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

Country music has to evolve in order to survive.

One thing that you can't fake is chemistry.

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