I've always been a big fan of Nashville, and I have friends that live there.

One of my pet peeves about Nashville is that it tends to be copycatted. I don't want to do that. I've got to be different.

Nashville is only a couple of hours from New York, and people just move at a slower pace there - and they don't care who you are or what you do.

I was told 'no' a lot when I first got to Nashville, but I'm pretty stubborn! That's one of my faults and qualities.

I knew what I wanted to be, but I didn't know exactly how to get there. I thought you move to Nashville, you sing downtown, and someone discovers you, and you become a country music star. I had no idea.

There is nothing else to do in Nashville except for write songs.

It's good to get out there and kind of move the body around a little bit, play some hockey, enjoy Nashville as a city and spend some time with family and friends.

Over the years I've had more and more of an association with Nashville.
