When I go pick up a record, anybody's record, and put it in a CD player, I want to be taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride. I want to feel, I want to laugh, I want to cry, I want to remember somebody, I want to be moved some way.
This is an incredibly sad time. . . . I just hope everyone can respect the privacy that I know Renee has already asked for.
now he seems to think he can tell Renee what to do, what to wear, where to go and who to see.
(Kenny is) an artist who has the ability to captivate millions with songs that are honest, heartfelt and entertaining. He is a superstar, yes, but he is a songwriter first.
I think it is important for this record to finally get out to remind people I'm not in tabloids for a living. It comes with the territory right now and I understand it, but I'm looking forward to getting back to the music, because that's what is most important and what got me here in the first place.
He's a school teacher in the Knoxville school system and has been for a long time. And even though I didn't live with my dad, and mom says we're just alike, talk alike, walk alike, and we definitely look a lot alike...but he's very, very supportive of what I'm doing. One thing that dad did, even though I wasn't living with him, he helped me pay for college and that was a really cool thing,
I hit everything so hard this year. I had the biggest tour I've ever done, I had a record to finish that was real important to me, and, of course, I had something new in my personal life, and I was trying to do that, too. It really ended up being too much. At some point, I just got exhausted. I'd go from the road to the studio and back to the road, and it was that cycle all summer.
I need it all and I need it now' was my mentality before. I used to rush everything to get it done.
I may well be the luckiest man alive.
I didn't need more fame or money. I needed more heart.
I work hard but I play hard.
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.
I don't think I ever feel sexy. I don't think that's for me to decide, if I'm sexy or not.
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.
