“I like bein’ busy. I mean, there’s nothin’ I do that I don’t just love doin’. I really…I’m just one of those guys I wake up in the morning and go, ‘Oh, I’ve gotta do so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so. This is gonna be fun!’ (laughs) I really do! I look forward to all this stuff. And I…yeah, I take a vacation every now and then. Actually, as crazy as it sounds, my last good one was to Bora Bora with Reba and Ronnie Dunn of all people, so yeah, we got all our families together, Kelly Clarkson…there was a pretty good group of us that went down there and got a boat in the islands, and yeah, I’ll chill out every now and then, but honestly, I’m like Reba, too: I never have as much fun as when I’m workin’. My work is fun. I mean, look at what I’m doin’! Are you kidding?! You know, playin’ music and makin’ wine…really?! (laughs) That’s what most people do for hobbies, you know?”
