Blake Shelton

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

What you need to know about me is that I always just wanted to be a country singer. I didn't choose the path of television or being on magazine covers.

I love getting the pontoon boat out, and I don't get to do it as much anymore. If I know in two weeks or a month from now I've got three days off, I can start planning for that stuff, getting out there with friends and family and relaxing, just floating around and hanging out.

When you start dating another country star, the first question is, 'When are y'all gonna do a duet?' And what sucks about that is people expect you to do it whether you want to or not.

My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it - they know I love to perform.

Shoot, man, I love everybody! I don't have time to hate.

I'd love to have a big old hug with Richard Simmons.

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

My fans are the best; I love hanging with them.

I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.

I love Cee Lo, but I avoid him when he's holding that smelly cat.

I love my band - they are the best out there, and I wouldn't want to perform with anyone else.
