Brantley Gilbert

If you're going to go out doing something, you might as well be fighting for your country or fighting for your life.

What you see is what you get, and the majority of people in my life that loan me clothes know that they've never seen me in a suit.

I tell everybody, 'If you want to get to know me, if you listen to those three records, you'll have a really good idea.' They were released at different time periods in my life, and those are the things I was going through.

You meet people in the business and wonder how compassionate they are.

It's real easy in a lot of businesses for your head to swell up, and you become somebody else. So that's one of my main goals in the business - to continue to be me.

I got several litmus tests for songs, but usually the people at the publishing company... they're straight-shooters.

The first time I went to Sturgis, I remember thinking, 'This motorcycle thing, this is me.'

Every bit of joy in my heart, you know, every smile on my face is yours. It's awesome to be able to share that with somebody.

I think I definitely get my soft side from my mother.

From the R&B side, I've always been a huge Brian McKnight fan. He's just as talented as it gets vocally, and as a musician. I think it'd be real cool to do something with him.

I'm sticking true to my roots.

There's a song called 'My Faith' that's kind of my spiritual song on my record. It's a little bit of my softer side of me, comin' out of left field a little bit.
