“I’m hooked on my baby’s love, there ain’t nothing in the jug this strong.”

If you listen to that song and knew anything about me, you’d say, “Oh yeah, he wrote that about his daughter,” but I try not to write them that they are so specific that they wouldn’t apply to anybody that has a child.

I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.

I don’t write all my stuff.

I could have done a hundred songs, really.

“After 17” is a song I wrote when my first daughter went to college, so that’s kind of where I’m at in that part of my life.

I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn’t have when I was young.

It’s a scary word, ‘cancer.’

I like to write sad songs. They’re much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don’t want to hear them as much.

If anything good came out of 9/11, to me, was that people were so cynical about the world.

I didn’t realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn’t even know that until a year or two ago.

I don’t see that it would be worth retiring.

Hee Haw was probably my biggest exposure to live music at a young age.

Somebody will come in with a hook and a lot of times they come out with something that sounds a little crafty.

I love your cooking, honey, but sometimes I need some real food.

I’m more of a basic eater. I still go into Cracker Barrel.

You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones.

You are mine. Do you hear me? You are mine, Della Sloane. I will take care of you. Nothing is taking you away from me. Nothing.

The only thing that I can do is hold a mirror in front of men and women, in front of the viewer in the theater, to reflect. There is nothing but reflection that I could intend to offer the viewer of the film.

Zionism is nothing more, but also nothing less, than the Jewish People’s sense of origin and destination in the Land linked eternally with its name.

I used to wanna rap like Jay-Z, Now I feel I could run laps around Jay-Z, Nas ain’t seen nothing this nasty, B.I.G. & Pac got it coming when I pass too. You got the mic, I ain’t the one you wanna pass to

I said we are Ghodratis and there’s nothing that Ghodratis like more than a bargain.

We think freedom means do nothing, don’t be responsible for your actions…. I think its time for adult Americans to be responsible for themselves, to take back the responsibility of being a free nation.

You have to stand up for what’s right in life. Unless you do that… you’re nothing.

To kill nothing, that is love.
