“I hear some new artists that sound country but the record labels and country radio lean more toward a more rock feel for what gets signed to a label and played on the radio.”

It didn’t make much difference what time of night it was, whenever [my father would] come in drunk, he’d say, “Get up and sing me some songs.”

I love what I’ve done and I just can’t stand to see what they’re doing to it. But I’ve learned to live with it because that’s what they’ve done. They’ve come in with the modern sounds. I call it modern pop. It’s not country anymore.

We didn’t want to sing but we sang.

After the first couple of years recording I did a lot of praying. I said, ‘Lord, please give me a hit.’ I want one so bad.

The only thing different between sinners and saints is one is forgiven and the other ain’t.

Today they forget you in five years. They give an artist nowadays four or five years and that’s it.

If people liked your singing well enough, if you were special to them, then you never left their minds throughout all of the years.

I just thank God I’m still here and the main thing is to try to get closer and closer to Him as much as I can so that I can treat my friends and my family the way they should be treated.

He stopped loving her today, they placed a wreath upon his door.

Anybody who loves country music loves gospel.

Be real about what you do. Stay true to the voice inside you.

You can’t put this possum in a cage

I just want to keep living on and enjoying food! Even though I’m gaining weight,

Walk through this world with me, go where I go. Share all your dreams with me, for I love you so.

There, gleaming in the glow, was that ten-horsepower rotary engine under a seat.

I’d rather sing a sad song than eat.

We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.

I think where it’s going is toward what the music industry is like, where channels will be considered more like labels that carry the type of TV show that you like

I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don’t understand.

I’ve been kind of toying around with the bi thing in my head. I wouldn’t ever give myself the label ‘bisexual,’ but bi-curious? Yea.

We just watch anything speed by. To stop and really ponder what a product label says, or the tagline on a TV commercial, might be inherently silly. Those are things that are almost designed to be thrown away.

I’m still a hip-hop producer. I never put a label on what I can do as a producer or a DJ.

At the end of the day, Fool’s Gold is a label that, when I hear something I like, I try to grab it for the label. There’s a ton of great music coming out.

Stop trying to define who you are and just be.
