Zitat des Tages von Blake Shelton:
If you're not offending one group of people, you're not entertaining the other.
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.
I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there, take your vows, and be married to them for the rest of your life.
I'm never going to listen to someone trash my wife.
Nobody's gonna beat Taylor Swift in a fan-voted thing. And nobody should, by the way.
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.
AT&T sucks. There's no excuse for being in downtown Los Angeles, and your phone loses service. That's ridiculous.
Full-face helmets look stupid.
I'm very content with my life. I mean, who wouldn't be?
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?'
My life has been an open book, for better or for worse.
Jason Aldean is actually probably a really good rapper. He sounds like it to me.
I get the same feeling walking into the Opry House as I do when I see one of my heroes.
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.
I want to stand for something, and it's probably going to be something that some people stand against.
I love my band - they are the best out there, and I wouldn't want to perform with anyone else.
The thing that got me started on Twitter was just basically pressure from management and the record company saying, 'Hey, this is what all the other artists are doing. You need to be doing it also.' I didn't really have a clue what is was.
I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.
I think the worst thing you can do is blend in. Why would you ever want to blend in?
I've burned the trash a few times and it got away from me. I've caught the yard on fire. I've burnt up some acreage and had to call the fire department a couple of times.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I talked to Carolyn Dawn Johnson about doing a duet with her a few times, and we just haven't gotten it done.
My critics are pretty tough. I've never been one of the music industry's pets.
I think just knowing you're married and having that in the back of your mind all the time - it sounds official, but it doesn't really feel any different. We don't do anything differently than we did before.
My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it - they know I love to perform.
I remember telling the head of Warner Brothers that if they'd just make a video for 'Ol' Red'... and if it didn't work, they could drop me from the label.
To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.
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.'
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 hate pigs. I hate goats.
I would not want to be Richard Simmons... right now or anytime. He seems like a nice guy, but if I had to dress like that? That would absolutely suck.
I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.
