Anytime you have a fellow artist say, 'Loving the new Luke Bryan album,' that's awesome.

It's kind of like a college degree... when you get one, no one can take it from you. When you get to say for the rest of your life that you've got a platinum album, that really means something.

Anytime I sing the anthem, it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.

I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

My path is exactly where I want it to be. I'm doing my thing. I'm getting better with every album.

You see a lot of people out there that say they're country, and they do their little things that are stereotypical country things, but being country is a way of life.
