One thing that you can't fake is chemistry.
Blake Shelton
The only thing you can do to make catfish edible is fry them.
When things go wrong or don't turn out the way you pictured them in your head, you just have to go with the best intentions defense. I have a lot of good intentions.
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.
I love to deer hunt and fish and drive down the back roads in my truck. All those things basically equal freedom to me - and not having to return that message or call from my record company or management.
I'm a huge Joe Nichols fan, and he put this song out an album called 'Real Things.' I was excited for Joe when I heard it, thinking 'that will easily be Joe Nichols' career song.' I was even more excited when they got out of that album and they never released it as a single, because then I was like, 'Now that's gonna be my career single.'
I like California but I'm dyed-in-the-wool Oklahoma. I see a deer in L.A., and everybody's standing around it taking pictures. Back home, that's the enemy!
I hate reality shows. But if I had to be on one, I'd have to say 'Realtree Road Trips' on the Outdoor Channel.
I'm not that crazy about how some of the men dress in Los Angeles.
I talked to Carolyn Dawn Johnson about doing a duet with her a few times, and we just haven't gotten it done.
Sitcoms, I always figured that would be an easy gig, but man, it is not.
Stop using the word 'bromance.' Can we please kill that stupid term? We're just friends. It's called friendship!
Jason Aldean is actually probably a really good rapper. He sounds like it to me.
There's something actually more intimidating about playing a small, intimate room. Your mistakes are that much more under the microscope.
The way my family always did Christmas was on Christmas Eve, it wasn't really centered around a dinner on Christmas Eve. It was more about keeping the kids calm. Sometime after dark is when we were going to open all the presents underneath the tree from Mom, Dad and the kids and everything - just the family presents was every Christmas Eve.
I stand by the stuff I say, even the really stupid stuff. I'll find a way to justify it.
I didn't grow up playing video games. I grew up catching crawdads in the creek and minnows and lizards and snakes.
The wussiest thing a guy can do is drive a clean truck. Dents, scratches and mud - that's manly.
I think just knowing you're married and having that in the back of your mind all the time - it sounds official, but it doesn't really feel any different. We don't do anything differently than we did before.
I get the same feeling walking into the Opry House as I do when I see one of my heroes.
My favorite thing about Los Angeles is there are businesses that you can call, and they will deliver groceries to your house.
My favorite television show has changed throughout the years. I used to think 'Married... With Children' was really funny. But now that I've gotten older, it's 'The Golden Girls,' believe it or not. That shows kills me.
For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.
I lost my brother in a car wreck when I was 14 years old. When I decided I wanted to be a country singer, my dad always told me, 'Son, you should write a song about your brother.'
I do know a good singer when I hear one.
I can't tell you what genre Maroon 5 is in. I don't know if they're rock or pop or alternative. I don't know what they are. I have a hard time separating that stuff. I just know what I like when I hear it.
I've never played it safe on my own music.
Every day, somebody has a song they want you to hear, and you're stupid if you don't listen to it because you never know what you may find.
I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early '90s. That time period was my favorite.
AT&T sucks. There's no excuse for being in downtown Los Angeles, and your phone loses service. That's ridiculous.
If you're not offending one group of people, you're not entertaining the other.
When you start dating another country star, the first question is, 'When are y'all gonna do a duet?' And what sucks about that is people expect you to do it whether you want to or not.
Anybody that has followed closely what I've been doing can see from 'Home,' being as big a hit as it was, it kind of opened the door for me to try new things musically.
Because of Twitter, I think people know most every single thing about me. I don't know if there's anything that would surprise people about me.
No, I don't think I'm ever going to get serious.
I tell you what: when you are getting married to Miranda Lambert, you're going to make time for whatever she wants.
Nobody's gonna beat Taylor Swift in a fan-voted thing. And nobody should, by the way.
I'm a country artist first and just happen to be on television doing it.
The Grand Ole Opry is an artist, and I am proud to be one of its songs.
I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.
I don't ask other artists for too much advice.
I probably have the crappiest tattoo - not only in country music - but maybe the world.
I like bubble baths.
If there's one thing special about me, it's that I seem familiar. People feel like I live next door.
I don't know anybody as creative and unique and off the wall as Dia Frampton. She's always asking me, 'Am I too weird?' I just tell her, 'People don't think you're weird, they think you're cool.'
Full-face helmets look stupid.
I've burned the trash a few times and it got away from me. I've caught the yard on fire. I've burnt up some acreage and had to call the fire department a couple of times.
My fans are the best; I love hanging with them.
I've driven in L.A. probably three times. I'm a slug in L.A.
I got a job working at a publishing company, Balmur Music, which was a company that Anne Murray was a co-owner in, as a tape copy guy. Eventually, I got fired from that job.
