The biggest challenge, I think for any new artist, is patience.

Making an album is a long process, but it's a fun process.

I think everybody has somebody for them, and they're out there waiting for you somewhere.

I always give a lot of credit to Ronnie Dunn for making me fall in love with country music.

I'm so uncoordinated.

From day one when you're singing, you're dreaming about making that first album and making your break into whatever music you want to break into.

I grew up listening to Frank Sinatra, riding in the car with my grandpa, and I was just intrigued by it.

If you want to change the world, first change yourself, then tell others how you did it. Never demand that people change. Inspire them to change using your own change as an example instead.

Poetry looking in the mirror sees art, and art looking in a mirror sings poetry.

It's a funny business. I kind of compare it to baseball. I'm always looking for a home run.

The enemy is at the gate. It is a question of life and death.

The streak has become my identity; it's who I've become.

Listening is more important than anything else because that's what music is. Somebody is playing something and you're receiving it. It is sending and receiving.

Choosing love will bring you great joy and great happiness - that happiness is a choice you make.

Choice is a divine teacher, for when we choose we learn that nothing is ever put in our path without a reason.

For the first time I was learning how much easier it was to leave than to stay behind and love.

In order to run a great business, you must know that a bunch of really intrinsically unhappy people, that's not a recipe for success. Don't be anywhere you don't need to be; it's just like that.
