“I can fall in and out of love, have marriages that barely last a month. When they go down the drain, I’ll blame it on the fame.”

I try to write like the writers I admire – I rip them off in form. It comes from George Strait and Merle Haggard records, and country music in general is really good at that, the twisted phrase… So Im always looking for that angle in my own work.

I ruined my health drinking to other people’s.

The nice thing about the world that I’ve been able to inhabit for the last couple of years is that I’m given a lot of freedom. Not all artists really get that.

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It’s who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.

I get to cry to Barbara Walters, when things don’t go my way. I’ll get community service no matter which laws I break.

When they say you’re the best, I always remember that the majority of the audience probably thinks someone else should have gotten the award.

Someday I’m gonna be famous. Do I have talent, well, no. These days you really don’t need it.

Guitar playing isn’t really for everybody.

There ain’t a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes when she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress. And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile; it doesn’t matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear tire.

Rock Band never got anybody a date. Never.

Some media in the world are more critical towards what’s happening than others.

We have a problem with several media taking only a part of the reality and not the whole picture.

You’re not surviving if you’re not on social media, period.

It’s a challenge that we also feel more than any other time because it’s in the news and social media. It’s in our families.

Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally.

If you can make it through the age of social media and come out with the same friends and lover, kudos!

I’ve had friends get mad at me for not posting what they think I should post on Instagram on behalf of them or our relation.

People automatically assume and expect that every moment and every bit of personal data should be broadcasted on social media, especially as it relates to them – and thats just not cuttin’ it for me.
