Kenny Chesney

It's not just in my industry... everything is so sensationalized that there's not a lot of heart and soul in a lot of things there used to be heart and soul in.

I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody.

I like to rock and roll, but I'm a mushy guy, too. I want to be the guy that all the girls love and all the guys want to hang out with.

I think there is a part of life that I'm missing.

You'd think I'd have been happiest in my life playing music in front of 50,000 people at Gillette Stadium. But let me tell you, it's an odd feeling to feel alone in the spotlight.

I think that in the last four or five years I've constantly struggled with the balance in my life.

I grew up in east Tennessee, and everybody knew everybody's business.

There's this idea that somebody's job could be more important than somebody else's, and to me, that's not true.

Social topics may hit too close to home for people, but then again, if you pull a heartstring, then that's what country music is. It's not just songs about getting drunk and leaving your girl.

It sounds like a cliche, but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town, and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends, family, school, and church, and sports.

The last couple of years I've been on an empty tank. And that's gotta change.

I've gotten to meet so many people who've inspired me as a human being.
