Kenny Chesney
Believe it or not, I want to keep growing my audience.
I can't believe that I get to stand on the stages I stand on every summer, and get to sing the songs that I sing.
I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not. And I'm sure happy with what I've got. I live to love and laugh a lot. And that's all I need.Collection: Laughing

Being famous is uncomfortable because I grew up very simply. Everything revolved around friends, family, church and sports.Collection: Sports
Growing up too fast and I do recall, Wishin' time would stop right in it's tracks.Collection: Growing Up

I didn't need more fame or money. I needed more heart.Collection: Heart
[Music] is the one thing that connects the dots in all kinds of ways. No matter how you were brought up, no matter what your religious background or political beliefs, people still love to sing along with somebody.Collection: Religious
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)."Collection: Memories
There were years of that stuff that will never leave me. Never. When the bus turned a million miles - that's a lot of traveling. It's really cool to think about. I'm blessed to have traveled a million miles on a tour bus.Collection: Blessed
I'm a loving drunk. I get sentimental. "I love you guys." I drunk-dial a lot.Collection: Love You
I can't see going onstage wearing a long-sleeve shirt in the dead of summer. I work out hard during the day with a trainer who monitors everything I put in my mouth when I'm on tour. When I first got a record deal, you can tell by my early album covers that working out wasn't that much a part of my life.Collection: Summer
An important mentor for me, in terms of teaching me that there's a right way and a wrong way to do things, was probably my football coach. And playing football was one of the first times in my life that I realized nothing is given to you. You have to work really hard.Collection: Football

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.Collection: Men
I hate my smile. I always have, even in my school pictures when I was a little kid.Collection: Hate
What good is it if a guy can sing real good but he sits on his ass and doesn't make anybody feel anything? I can connect with an audience every time I play. When I sing, they listen.Collection: Real
My mother is a very fun-loving person. She has been through a lot in her life. She has had a couple of divorces. When I was in high school she was a single mother. That's when I learned to do my own laundry.Collection: Mother
I took a complete year off the road, but a big part of that year was making 'The Big Revival.' I needed that down time just so I could concentrate. The one thing that starts it all for us is the music. That's what you create in the studio. That's where the magic happens.Collection: Years
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.Collection: Life Lesson

Nothing positive at all in my life came from my marriage, I can tell you that.Collection: I Can
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.Collection: Simple
I learned from my mom that you should always try to enjoy life, no matter what.Collection: Mom

One word, that's all you said and something in your voice caused me to turn my head. Your smile just captured me.Collection: Voice

Actually, I wouldn't know what to do now if I had hair. I'm pretty comfortable being bald. It doesn't bother me. I've never had one girl tell me she didn't want to have sex with me because I didn't have any hair.Collection: Girl
I've been focused for a long time. I've given my life to do music. I've sacrificed everything.Collection: Long
