“The biggest question I have is if you're a rock singer or a rock 'n' r...” — Joe Nichols Quote

“The biggest question I have is if you're a rock singer or a rock 'n' roll band, or if you're a pop singer... if you've made your way in another genre of music and now you want to make a country record, why? That's my question. Why?”

“Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.”

“It's always a pleasure to perform for people who love country music. And Australians definitely fall into that category. Each time I go back, I learn something new about the country, and I get to see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.”

“I've just always loved really good projects. The things that draw me into a new project have very little to do with genre and have more to do with the characters I'll be playing, the people I'll get to work with and things like that.”

“It's really not the genre for me, or the venue, it's the writing.”

“I want all of my films to be grounded in reality, and I think 'Midnight Special' is the most grounded film I've ever made, in spite of its genre.”
