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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

I like bubble baths.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

If you're in the public eye, people are going to take shots at you.

I've driven in L.A. probably three times. I'm a slug in L.A.

I get the same feeling walking into the Opry House as I do when I see one of my heroes.

The Grand Ole Opry is an artist, and I am proud to be one of its songs.

I got a job working at a publishing company, Balmur Music, which was a company that Anne Murray was a co-owner in, as a tape copy guy. Eventually, I got fired from that job.
