Being famous is uncomfortable because I grew up very simply. Everything revolved around friends, family, church and sports.

More quotes by Kenny Chesney
When I try to brush the road dust off of me and untangle all the wires in my head, I'm usually surrounded by music on a boat. But that's not how I wake up every day.
Kenny Chesney
I truly believe that music is the most powerful thing we have.
Kenny Chesney
It sounds like a cliche, but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town, and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends, family, school, and church, and sports.
Kenny Chesney
We call it drunk philosophy. You have a few beers and you become a lot smarter.
Kenny Chesney
You'd think I'd have been happiest in my life playing music in front of 50,000 people at Gillette Stadium. But let me tell you, it's an odd feeling to feel alone in the spotlight.
Kenny Chesney
When I'm offstage, I never feel famous. I will never let anybody call a restaurant and say, We're with Kenny Chesney. Can you get us in? That's so pretentious. I'm pretty simple except for the fact that I have a really great boat and a little bit of money. When I'm offstage I don't feel like the person everybody sees.
Kenny Chesney
I'm uncomfortable with being famous. I hate it. But I love making music. I love getting paid to do it, and I love getting on my boat after I get paid to do it.
Kenny Chesney
I think people need to live their lives the way they want to, but I'm pretty confident in the fact that I love girls. I've got a long line of girls who could testify that I am not gay.
Kenny Chesney
People who can't kiss had everything given to them.
Kenny Chesney
I've been focused for a long time. I've given my life to do music. I've sacrificed everything.
Kenny Chesney
When I'm onstage I feel changed.
Kenny Chesney
I'm all right. I'm good. There has been better times, but I'll be okay.
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
I have friends who have a normal family, kids and a dog, and I think I would blow my brains out. It's fine for them. But I'm such a free spirit, I feel more alive when I've got somewhere to go.
Kenny Chesney
I don't think I ever feel sexy. I don't think that's for me to decide, if I'm sexy or not.
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
The title [of the album 'The Big Revival']alone fit what I was feeling. It defined what I was going through. That year off was a time to revive, to reset, to reclaim, to revitalize and to re-focus. It was a revival of how I made music, how I presented it and my connection with the fans.
Kenny Chesney
I'm glad I took that time to work really hard on the music. I feel the effects of that now in a positive way with my connection with the audience.
Kenny Chesney
I love living my life in flip-flops. I met a guy in the islands a while ago who told me he hadn't worn a pair of shoes in three years! I thought, 'Man, that's the life!'
Kenny Chesney
He had a voice that was the truth, raw and unfiltered. You can't get any realer, any more tortured or any more alive. No one can do what George Jones does, and that's why 50 years later, he still stands out as one of the greatest singers in any genre of all time.
