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.

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.

I like to rock and roll, but I'm a mushy guy, too. I want to be the guy that all the girls love and all the guys want to hang out with.
Kenny Chesney

I was definitely born a dreamer. I could never sit still, and I can't now.

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!'

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.

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

I do sing about drinking, but it's in a party way. I don't sing about drinking in a drowning-my-sorrows way, like in George Jones's If Drinking Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will).

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.

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.

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.
