Famous quotes by Keith Urban:

"[DETAILS - For the new campaign, which focuses on how jeans and songs are individual expressions of personality and style, Virgin Records' Stone and Capitol Nashville's Urban recorded one of their favorite songs exclusively for Gap.

"Days go by like a hand out the window in the wind!"

"You look at me and give me that 'come here baby' smile. And I know we can make it through anything."

"My father's record collection was all country. That's how I was exposed to it."
