I've grown up with country music. I love how real everybody is, not just the artists, but the fans.

I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan base.

Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.

Country music is the people's music. It just speaks about real life and about truth and it tells things how they really are.

I've always wanted to be accepted by country music fans - without lying.

Country fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad.

I think there's enough room in country music for everybody.

True country music is honesty, sincerity, and real life to the hilt.

For me there are two types of country: There's the shoot-yourself-in-the-head country, and then there's really good country music.

It's hard to come across a true country fan in L.A., but it's true that the fans are so loyal, once you're in their circle, you're in for your entire career. It just really speaks to me. Country music has so much soul and is so heartfelt. I think it's a perfect fit for me.
