Brantley Gilbert

I was kind of torn between playing music or playing college football. I was going to college and really focusing on my music career.

I don't sit down to write a number one hit. I'm not that good at my job - I don't know how to do that.

When I had my wreck, it really just put everything into perspective and really opened my eyes. I've always been one of those guys that thought 'it will never happen to me.'

Every place you go to, they have their own little flair.

I write about things and put things into my albums that I don't talk to people about. I don't hold back or sugarcoat anything.

I like to lift and do cardio to stay in shape, so I can walk the dog on somebody, and I like to be strong, but running 10 miles or a decathlon? That don't support my interests.

Fame and money and all that - you hear people say it a lot, but they don't mean a thing to me.

I like being different.

My fiancee's the one that's picture worthy.

I'm as honest as I can possibly be when I write.

I'm not too good at being fake or being somebody else.

Being on stage and on a motorcycle are two of the only places I feel comfortable and free. Those are my happy places.
