Every country can be defined through their food, their music and their language. That's the soul of a country.

I'm basically a country person.

I think you learn a lot about a country from its art. To me, it's part of the drama of life. It teaches you that there are places, moments and incidents in other cultures that genuinely have a life of their own.

You have to go through a mental and emotional process to recognize who you really are. I finally recognized that I cannot be defined by one country.

In a funny way, nothing makes you feel more like a native of your own country than to live where nearly everyone is not.

I always remember that I am a representative of my country, and I always think about the culture I'm bringing to people.

Loving a country is an act of the imagination.

One always likes to think that other countries are not like one's own.

I do think I'm country, but your definition of that word might be different from my definition. In my opinion, country music, the sound of country, has always evolved. But the one thing that has not changed is the story element. And I think country songs are truthful songs about life written by country people.

My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It's when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.
