“Just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it’s going to take to get you on the radio.”

To think about the historical part of the Opry and how it’s played such a part in country music.

I’ve always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I’ve gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

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

He’s written some great songs. I thought that “Blues Man” was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.

Some of them are not as plugged into the digital world, so they want to go out and buy the CD at Walmart or something.

And radio definitely doesn’t; they want that positive, uptempo thing.

Wembley way is beginning to blacked with people in terms of red and blue

I probably should put a little more energy into it.

Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics.

Those are the kind of people who like the kind of music I’m making.

Did you shout out in anger, in fear of your neighbor or did you just sit down and cry?..

I’ve been a lot of places, and my wife, Denise, she likes a lot of the fancy restaurants.

My mother kept asking me, “When are you going to do a gospel album?” And I’ve always wanted to do a gospel album.

The fan base that I’ve had all these years has come along.

The Spurs couldn’t put everything aside and just play the damn game.

The trouble with me is that for a long time I have just been an I person.

I wasn’t real quick, and I wasn’t real strong. Some guys will just take off and it’s like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

I just shoot until I feel good.

Darling, the legs aren’t so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.

I’m just content with myself, happy with myself.

I’m just showing my personality in my clothing.

Just tell the story and go on to the next one. All of us are full of stories the world might want to hear.
