I got country music in me.

As soon as I got into country music, it was like hook, line and sinker. I was so focused on country, I ended up leaving all those '80s hair-band CDs behind - which now I still wish I had, but I was done with it.

I have a confession to make - I truly love country music.

I was feeling really restless in my hard-rock band. I wanted to learn more about storytelling in music, and that's what country music is.

I'm always kind of surprised how much I'm associated with country music.

I want to reach the point where people hear my name and immediately think of real country music.

I have always been infatuated with country music.

Before I really knew country music, I listened to pop, and I still do.

I was tossed all over the place growing up, which I guess prepared me for the music business, but the one thing that has always been there, that has never ever left me, has been country music.

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