Quote

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).

I'm proud of the fact that I'm at a point in my career that if I want to take a little bit of a left turn and make an album that is more hushed, more acoustic and more personal, that I can do it.

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 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.

Just because I don't sing about the normal country themes doesn't mean my songs aren't country. I'd rather sing about having fun.

In 21 years there are a lot of ups and downs. There are melancholy times. There are sad times. There are happy times. There are unsure times. There are life lessons.

My fans get enough politics on TV every day. I want them to think for themselves. I don't want them to listen to me.

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

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'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.

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

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.

Record labels today are much less patient: Artists have a bad record, and they're gone.

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.

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

I want there to be a level of respect between everybody.

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

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'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.
