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

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

To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.

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

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.

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.
