What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.- Bryan White
We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
There is not many tenors in the male category and that makes me stick out.
There are peaks and valleys in anything and that is especially true for the music business. It is very inconsistent. But if you are wise, you can let those downs really bring you to another level of your personality.
There are many people that struggle and struggle and have all the talent in the world, but for some reason they are not successful. You never know why those things happen.
One time when somebody showed up in a wedding dress, but I never knew if it was a joke, or she was serious. She asked me to marry her. She was serious. It was pretty funny.
Nat King Cole was a really big influence.
It's almost scary how good things are right now. I have been engaged now for about a year, and it's the first time anything like that has happened to me.
If I ever did cross over I would like to do it tactfully. I do not want to offend anyone in country. Can you have the best of both worlds? I sure like the idea of it!
I have never really been a traditional country kind of guy. I wanted my music to sound more like the end of the '90s and to have the kind of great music, pop or whatever, that radio will embrace.
I have always wanted to be a real universal artist, one that every type of audience could relate to.
I am an entertainer. If people are paying good money for tickets they deserve the best show they can see. I do not get into lighting stuff on fire, but I do believe in going the extra mile.
I want people to hear the presence of God in the music.
I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you are born to make commercial music that is cool. But if you are born to not make commercial records, maybe you are meant to cater to another market.
I remember my mom dressed like Janis Joplin.
