More quotes by Kenny Chesney
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.
Kenny Chesney
Being famous is uncomfortable because I grew up very simply. Everything revolved around friends, family, church and sports.
Kenny Chesney
There are only so many hours you can sit on the bus and watch TV or play basketball or whatever we do to pass the time before we go out onstage.
Kenny Chesney
I wasn't a great student, C average. I was pretty shy, but I drank a lot of beer.
Kenny Chesney
I need to recharge creatively, and get off the clock of having to be somewhere just because, and having to keep juggling all these things.
Kenny Chesney
There's this emotion we all feel of being overwhelmed at times, feeling that you can't get ahead. For me it's self-imposed because I'm so driven and I'm always going from project to project.
Kenny Chesney
One of these days we're gonna have to grow up, have to get real jobs and be adults, someday, just not today.
Kenny Chesney
My life can be insanely complicated sometimes, and there's a certain simplicity that I crave.
Kenny Chesney
I was on one bus with my band and crew for seven years. I didn't come to town with a karaoke tape. I didn't get on a TV show. There were no shortcuts. Anybody who wants to follow my model is welcome to it. You don't want to follow my path.
Kenny Chesney
I realized that I wanted to get better in every way. As a person, as a friend, as a songwriter, as a musician, as an artist, record producer, you name it.
Kenny Chesney
I took a complete year off the road, but a big part of that year was making 'The Big Revival.' I needed that down time just so I could concentrate. The one thing that starts it all for us is the music. That's what you create in the studio. That's where the magic happens.
Kenny Chesney
Certain nights, when everything's perfect and we have thousands of people partying their asses off, I break my rule and have a drink onstage. I've never done a show drunk. Well, I take that back. In the early days I did.
Kenny Chesney
Its five o'clock some where
Kenny Chesney
Record labels today are much less patient: Artists have a bad record, and they're gone.
Kenny Chesney
There were [in 21] all those times in my life that I didn't know this was going to happen. I didn't know if anybody was going to care about our music.
Kenny Chesney
I've been in the music business for 15 years. I've seen it all, man. I've just always been scared of coke. When I was on the road and saw some people do it, I was afraid I would really like it. I was afraid of the consequences.
Kenny Chesney
When I'm onstage I feel changed.
Kenny Chesney
I'm very liberal in some ways, and then I'm very conservative in others. I once asked my grandpa, Are you a Republican or a Democrat? He said, I'm a Democrat, but I'm saving up to be a Republican.
Kenny Chesney
I'm dating a girl who's pretty levelheaded. She's a nurse. She's a real, normal girl. Which is what I need because my life isn't normal.
Kenny Chesney
What you see is kinda what you get with me. I'm a very real person, or I hope to be, anyway. I don't have nothing to hide
