When I'm getting a chance to do my job or make somebody's day, and be on stage where I love, and see all the fans having fun, you can't help but smile.

If one person feels the way I felt when I first fell in love with country music, then I'm doing my job.

I'm not the only one who has ever lost somebody; I'm not the only one who was missing somebody. That's what I love about country music, that's what I love about songwriters, is being able to put out those words, those feelings.

The fans are always wanting new music, and with as much as I love to write, I might as well give them the music while I've got it.

To do what I love every day and have the support of the fans, it does not happen like this all the time, so it is important to be thankful... I know it doesn't last forever, and we have to get it while we can.

I am so happy to be able to do what I love. To have the songs I've written for other artists go No. 1 and my songs go to No. 1 has been amazing.

I want people to know that I'm not just 'Chillin' It.' I'm a real person. There's heartbreak and trials, and I hope I put that in my music.

That's why I fell in love with country music: it made me feel something.

I know that a lot of our troops like country music. I would love to do anything I could to just help them out.

It was an incredible experience performing for the members and attendees at the Diamond Resorts Invitational; it was such an impressive event, and I was honored to be a part of it.

I've been able to experience so many things since I've had my record deal.

When you find what you love, and you find people that will support you, you're living the dream whatever you do.
