You've got to believe in yourself.

I'm not a politically correct person.

It's just part of my DNA. I love racing.

I'm being myself when the camera is rolling.

You can come after me all day long. I don't care.

If we don't have great music, we're not any company.

Every day is an adventure, and no two days are ever alike.

Relationships feed on credibility, honesty, and consistency.

Season 1 of CTV's 'The Launch' exceeded our wildest expectations!

One of my rules is, if Jesus or Taylor [Swift] calls, I take the call.

I learned a long time ago, Don't ever doubt the power of Taylor Swift.

It's a rare opportunity when you can do something for the greater good.

I've always thought we've done our best work when everything is on the line.

There's no reason people should be hungry in our country. It's not acceptable.

I learned that you could beat the big guys with desire, passion, and hard work.

Can a label group by itself scale to make a sensible business? I don't think so.

Like everything at Big Machine Label Group, the music comes out when it's ready.

I've had so many conversations with new artists trying to figure out their careers.

I tell my assistant “I'm busy! unless it's Jesus or Taylor (Swift) don't bother me”

I've always thought that I've had a nice gift for putting the right people together.

We have a mantra at the Big Machine Label Group: Start with crazy and work backward.

The Big Machine Label Group will continue to knock down doors to break female talent.

We decided when we were building Big Machine that we wanted to be a Harley or a Ferrari.

The facts show that the music industry was much better off before Spotify hit these shores.

I grew up in Southern California, so there is just a part of me that is a Hollywood rocker.

It's such a loud world out there, so it's important to be able to be ubiquitous across formats.

Are there a million people out there who would love a Joey Cook album? I think there probably are.

We're a content company. And if we create the best content, every distributor will want what we have.

We will have a new Taylor album in October. The record is genius. I can't wait for the fans to hear it.

I go by the rule of Gretzky: you gotta be there before the puck gets there, or you're going to get beat.

When we signed Taylor Swift, people said, 'You're signing a 15-year-old female country artist? Good luck!'

The last thing we want is for radio to say that they can't afford to play our artists and turn off the pipe.

What's on the edge? What's next? That's where I think I do my best work - if I push my whole team to the edge.

You have to be responsible to yourself... but that doesn't mean you can't have a point of view about something.

We try to stay on the edge of the mainstream and look at what the most aggressive young kids are running toward.

There is no way to keep your thumb on the pulse unless you have your thumb on the pulse, and I think we have it.

Winning 'American Idol' really anoints you the opportunity to have a great career; it does not anoint you a career.

If you stand for something, that means there are going to be people who support you and people who don't support you.

You can have all personality in the world, the looks, etc., but if you don't have the songs, it doesn't close the deal.

Because we are Nashville-based and predominately a country label, people obviously think of us in that way, and that's fine.

If you listen, people will tell you exactly what they want - whether it's a business relationship or a consumer relationship.

If you think back to the beginning of the label, we knew we had to strike quickly and aggressively and go for the brass ring.

Auto racing has been a big part of my life since I was very young. When the car feels right, it's like, 'We've got a big machine.'

I'm not a 'practicing' musician anymore. I played bass and guitar. I still pick up a guitar around the house every once in awhile.

Sirius and XM went on air in 2001. It's taken 14 years for that to be a real business. It took them combining to be a real business.

I attended College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, Calif., for a year, but college wasn't for me. I was curious about life beyond Los Angeles.

I think when we do our job right, our artists don't sound like anybody else. I have a real hard time with voices that sound like other big voices.

With the launch of Big Machine Premium Vodka, we are now offering a superior product that perfectly complements the music we take such great pride in.

I grew up in Southern California. I played in rock bands out here, and I've been around pop music my whole life. I've been around all music my entire life.

The world isn't all happy, shiny people, and great art doesn't come from vanilla. Great art comes from people with a point of view and are very passionate.
