I kind of have my little OCD wood shed at my house where everything is just right when I go write.
Sam Hunt -
I thought that I could have a career in music. I really didn't know exactly what I wanted to do or how I would go about doing it.

-
Maybe one day music will just be music, and there won't be these categories; it'll just be different shades of music.
Sam Hunt -
I really feel like I honed in on a sound and a style of writing that best fits me.
Sam Hunt -
I'm not really a piano player, but I play enough to get away with it.
Sam Hunt -
There's such a strong community element in country - it's like a family. So I don't want to do anything that can come off, even if I'm not intentionally doing it, as giving the perception that I'm trying to abandon that family.
Sam Hunt -
I think that people in general appreciate honesty and not trying to cook something up just to fit a mold that would be beneficial for you. I never made music like that.
Sam Hunt -
Picking up a guitar brought a lot of balance into my life.

I had some interesting costumes... the one that I remember right offhand is Zorro when I was a lot younger. I was a big time Zorro fan. My mom helped me make it, and I remember having a big issue with the fact that she wouldn't let me carry around a real metal sword; it just had to be plastic.
Sam Hunt -
I was a big music fan, but I never bought a bunch of records or was very educated, I guess, on who was who or what was what.
Sam Hunt -
There's this sort of model that exists in Nashville that we think we have to abide by: You put out a record, and in two years you have to put out another one and have three or four singles. There are all these rules that I've just sort of thrown out the window.
Sam Hunt -
There's not a day goes by that I don't appreciate the freedom that I have to make music and tour and spend time with my family.
Sam Hunt -
By no means do I want to try to leave country music. That's absolutely where I want to stay.
Sam Hunt -
I love being outside, I do a lot of hunting.
Sam Hunt
-
We try not to pull any punches and be straightforward, and I think that's what helped us connect with everybody across the board.
Sam Hunt -
I am kind of the front man for a team of people behind the scenes who are working just as hard as me and are putting in just as much time to make this all happen. I'm not trying to be humble. I just want everyone to get credit where credit is due.
Sam Hunt -
I study what's happening in music. I want to sound different than everybody else.
Sam Hunt -
People throw things at me sometimes, at big festivals.
Sam Hunt -
I never thought of myself as a performer or songwriter or singer.
Sam Hunt -
In a small town, it's either sports or a band with your buddies. I was always athletic. But in college, I was exposed to all this new music, and I was drawn to hip-hop and R&B.

-
It's just really fulfilling to celebrate with a group of folks, a team, than it is personally.
Sam Hunt -
I got a horse when I was eight or 10 years old. And dad used to take me to the rodeo back home. I got into it big time.
Sam Hunt -
I have two or three guys that I'm really close to. We have a great friendship, and I think that helps our songwriting relationship. It's hard to start... with new people and cover the ground that I've covered with those guys.
Sam Hunt -
I worked at a hospital parking cars and getting folks in and out of the hospital as they would come in for their appointments.
