I've always been a fan of Justin Timberlake.

Justin Timberlake puts you to shame, having that much talent.

Justin Timberlake is everything, and what more could you want in a person? He's funny. He's cute. He's great. He just understands. I get him and he gets me, and that's cool.

I'm not trying to be a celebrity, Justin Timberlake kinda guy.

Look at Paul McCartney, look at Elton John. They're jealous of Justin Timberlake. I'm sure they were jealous of me when I was in my imperial phase.

I always know I'm a country singer, and regardless of where I've fallen into different places with my music, I know that, really, I'm a country singer.

Well, you know, people don't know me as a country artist and I am new to the genre. But that's how I grew up singing.

I didn't say I wasn't gonna do rockabilly. I just said I ain't gonna sing no song that ain't a country song. I won't be known as anything but a country singer.

I know what it's like to scream when you see Justin Timberlake in person because I've done it.

Undeniably, I'm a country singer; I'm a country songwriter. But I feel like I make country music for people who like country music and for people who don't.
