I would love to get shredded or whatever you want to call it, but at the same time, I really enjoy treating myself to a cheat meal more than once a week. I'll eat a piece of bread, or I'll drink a beer, and I'll have fun with my friends. For me, it's really more about being healthy than it is about gaining 40 lbs. of muscle.

I'm a normal, horrible, screwed up human being like everyone else. I mean, I'm not horrible person, but I'm just as screwed up as anybody.

'Die a Happy Man' was one of those that, when I wrote it and sent it to my label, their response was, 'This is a career record.' I was like, 'Why do you think that?' I think the stars aligned.

You just have to live today. And I think one of my New Year's resolutions is definitely trying to stop and live in the moment and cherish it.

Thomas Rhett

think moment you today

We're gone for 280, almost 300 days a year. So 70 to 80 days I'm home every year. Being an artist, you just gotta be ready to miss certain things, like Halloween and all these kind of things that you used to be able to be free for. Birthdays, all this kind of stuff.

Thomas Rhett

free you artist home

You definitely get the answer 'no' more times in this business than you do 'yes.' It's what you do with those 'nos' that makes your success either great or not.

All my artist buddies make fun of me for being such a sensitive human being.

I'm a fun song maker. I love to make people smile. I also love to see them big, burly dudes crying because their wives' song is 'Die a Happy Man.'

I'm not just trying to be good at one thing and then call it a day. I want to be like Bruno Mars.

Thomas Rhett

Any time you're nominated for anything, it's a true blessing and something you should be really excited about, but it's sort of time to not be considered new anymore because I don't really feel like I'm new. I'm just glad people still see me as fresh. I wish there was a 'fresh country artist category' rather than 'new.'

Thomas Rhett

me you blessing time

I wanted to be a physical therapist because I had torn up my knee and thought it was interesting with the rehab and whatever. I did kinesiology, and after the first four days of class, I dropped out because I was like, 'This ain't the class for me!'

Thomas Rhett

whatever thought me interesting

I played at Sony, Warner Bros., Universal, Big Machine, Capitol... after I played every one of those places, everyone offered me a record deal. I was just like, 'Who am I? Why do I even deserve this?' There are people busting their butts on Broadway doing this hardcore, playing three hours a night for tips, and I didn't even ask for it.

Thomas Rhett

doing me night people

I'm kinda not one of those people that likes to put up trophies in my house, because I don't want my mom to come be like, 'Hey, you're full of yourself.'

Thomas Rhett

My dad is one of my favorite human beings in the world. He's just a good person, and he could entertain a brick wall.

Thomas Rhett

I hate negativity in general. We, as artists, we pour so much into our music and put out something we believe in... it sucks that people tear you down.

Thomas Rhett

I loved going on the road... I think that's something everybody ought to experience one day - not necessarily as an artist, but just to get out and see the country.

Thomas Rhett

loved road day experience

There's no such thing as standing still and just singing a song. I love jumping into the crowd. I love to dance.

Thomas Rhett

I would say that all the singles that I have put out are collectively just a small piece of the artist that Thomas Rhett wants to be.

Thomas Rhett

say small just artist

I grew up with, maybe not the best hip-hop in the world, but a lot of hip-hop. Will Smith was, like, my jam when I was, like, 9 or 10 years old.

As a kid, I dreamed of being nominated for a Grammy.
