Blake Shelton
My favorite television show has changed throughout the years. I used to think 'Married... With Children' was really funny. But now that I've gotten older, it's 'The Golden Girls,' believe it or not. That shows kills me.
I always make a joke that they transplanted Martina McBride's eyes and put them in my head.
I talked to Carolyn Dawn Johnson about doing a duet with her a few times, and we just haven't gotten it done.
I didn't grow up playing video games. I grew up catching crawdads in the creek and minnows and lizards and snakes.
Full-face helmets look stupid.
I'm very content with my life. I mean, who wouldn't be?
Sitcoms, I always figured that would be an easy gig, but man, it is not.
I can't tell you what genre Maroon 5 is in. I don't know if they're rock or pop or alternative. I don't know what they are. I have a hard time separating that stuff. I just know what I like when I hear it.
I tell you what: when you are getting married to Miranda Lambert, you're going to make time for whatever she wants.
We were playing a fair, and a few people were handing me stuffed animals and flowers, but one person handed me a paper sack. So I took all the stuff back to the bus. I put the sack in my lap and opened it, and a live iguana jumped out of the sack and onto my shirt. I screamed like a little girl!
I'd love to have a big old hug with Richard Simmons.
People are scrambling to figure out how they can prolong the life of an album. But as long as the shelf space continues to shrink at retail, there's just no room for them anymore... which is fine with me! I would love to be the next person in country to just release digital singles, but I think we're probably a little ways from that.
I'm a huge Joe Nichols fan, and he put this song out an album called 'Real Things.' I was excited for Joe when I heard it, thinking 'that will easily be Joe Nichols' career song.' I was even more excited when they got out of that album and they never released it as a single, because then I was like, 'Now that's gonna be my career single.'
When I hear other artists talk, they talk about 'How come radio's not playing my song?' Well, you have to look at it under a microscope and know that each station is just trying to do what's right for their market, and it's scary for a radio station to add a song that they don't know how well it's gonna do for them.
One thing that you can't fake is chemistry.
Nobody's gonna beat Taylor Swift in a fan-voted thing. And nobody should, by the way.
I want to stand for something, and it's probably going to be something that some people stand against.
I'm never going to listen to someone trash my wife.
The only thing you can do to make catfish edible is fry them.
To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.
There needs to be an app that edits what I say versus what I want to say.
When things go wrong or don't turn out the way you pictured them in your head, you just have to go with the best intentions defense. I have a lot of good intentions.
I love to deer hunt and fish and drive down the back roads in my truck. All those things basically equal freedom to me - and not having to return that message or call from my record company or management.
I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.
Where I live in Oklahoma, it's all ranchers. My friends are all cowboys and pretty rough guys. If I had a hot tub back there, I may as well have Richard Simmons come over and live with me.
Shoot, man, I love everybody! I don't have time to hate.
I don't give a crap about clowns.
I lost my brother in a car wreck when I was 14 years old. When I decided I wanted to be a country singer, my dad always told me, 'Son, you should write a song about your brother.'
My fans are the best; I love hanging with them.
I do know a good singer when I hear one.
I love getting the pontoon boat out, and I don't get to do it as much anymore. If I know in two weeks or a month from now I've got three days off, I can start planning for that stuff, getting out there with friends and family and relaxing, just floating around and hanging out.
My life has been an open book, for better or for worse.
I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.
I think every cute girl is told to move to L.A. someday. So I do like the drive over from my house to the studio.
I think that men should wear shoes that if there's an emergency, they're gonna be able to help.
What you need to know about me is that I always just wanted to be a country singer. I didn't choose the path of television or being on magazine covers.
I love to deer hunt and fish and drive down the back roads in my truck. All those things basically equal freedom to me - and not having to return that message or call from my record company or management. At some point, I need to recharge.
When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'
I get on Twitter, one of my routines during the day, if I'm home is, I wake up, get a cup of coffee, turn on the Weather Channel and I'll look at what people are saying to me on Twitter on my phone.
Anytime that the Arizona Cardinals play football, I scream at the top of my lungs at the television. And I have certain dances that I do.
The Doobie Brothers' 'What a Fool Believes' makes me want to move. And I still haven't gotten over the Macarena. Who has?
Michael Buble is seriously my favorite entertainer. Have you ever seen the guy in concert? He's hilarious. Women love him. Guys want to meet him. He has everything that I wish I could do onstage. And I'm guessin' he's a good-lookin' guy - although he's not one of 'People' magazine's sexiest men.
Ironically, being a coach on 'The Voice' and spending time with those kids, Xenia and Dia especially, I learned a lot about myself. It reminded me how lucky I am that this happened for me, and it kind of lit the spark inside me again for my love of music.
I like California but I'm dyed-in-the-wool Oklahoma. I see a deer in L.A., and everybody's standing around it taking pictures. Back home, that's the enemy!
I'm not that smart, but I'm smart enough to know that if Usher wants to help you, you let him.
I've only had one platinum album, and it's 'Red River Blue'.
I've always had just enough success to buy me some more tour dates and another record.
If there's one thing special about me, it's that I seem familiar. People feel like I live next door.
Raffles are no fun.
