Kenny Chesney

I can't believe that I get to stand on the stages I stand on every summer, and get to sing the songs that I sing.

Believe it or not, I want to keep growing my audience.

I'm pretty firm in my sexuality and my love for women.

I remember making up songs in my head.

I had a notepad and I wrote down 30 things to make myself better just off the top of my head, and the next day I started to do that.

My career was really odd, because I literally had a greatest hits album out and nobody knew who I was. They knew the songs, but they didn't know me.

Me and my band and crew have always lived by the code: 'Work hard, play harder.'

Music's supposed to come from the heart. I felt like that if it ever got mechanical, I was going to back away from it.

So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm a helluva kisser.

I can say that I don't see myself with the foot on the gas pedal as hard as it's been down for 16 years.

The last couple of years I've been on an empty tank. And that's gotta change.

Things that made me happy five, six years ago don't make me happy anymore.

Football taught me how hard you had to work to achieve something.

I was standing onstage last year, and I felt like I wanted to be somewhere else. No matter how many people were out there, it all just felt like a blank sheet of paper.

I grew up in east Tennessee, and everybody knew everybody's business.

I'll admit I'm a workaholic.

I do sell fun.

I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody.

My fans reflect who I am.
