“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.”

That’s the biggest problem existing in this country! People are always mixing up the word free and freedom. Free is something you get for nothin.’ Freedom is a responsibility.

You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything You’ve got to be your own man, not a puppet on a string

Never underestimate your fans; they’ll tell you exactly what they like.

If you don’t have a goal or purpose to strive for, I don’t think that you have much of a life. You’ve got to have something to do that you want to apply yourself to – that’s what living is all about.

You’re not challenging anyone else but yourself. I’d like to have a 300-pound bench, 500-pound deadlift, and a 400-pound squat.

The romantic stuff comes a lot easier when you’re experiencing true love. It feels better, it feels more natural to record love songs when you’re in love.

People are always asking what’s the secret of my success, and the answer is easy – at least for me. You have to have a strong inner drive.

Some sell their soul for the easy road. The devil’s always buying. I can’t count the ones I’ve known who fell right into line.

I was born by God’s dear grace, in an extraordinary place. Where the stars and stripes, and the eagle fly.

Yes there’s a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe. And there’s a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free.

I’d like to set things straight, a few more people should be pulling their weight.

Whatever you do today you’ve got to sleep with tonight.

Every day we encounter situations where we have to make a stand. Looking back, I could have not hand-picked a better song to be my first single.

I’m a machine freak. I just love it when you can get a big ol’ steel machine to do the most that it’s capable of doing.

A free public broadcast license is a privilege.

For all their restlessness, men are who they are; once they put on the man’s toga they will not change again; so they make a virtue of that rigidity and resist whatever might soften it and set them free.

Do you wish to see clearly and be free?

There is no liberation to compare with freeing oneself from the illusions and delusions of the age in which one lives.

What good in a man’s life if it’s not lived free eh?

I think I’m like a free spirit.

Never forget that we were enslaved in this country longer than we have been free.

You think yourself free, because you do what you will; but are you free to will, or not to will; to desire, or not to desire? Are not your volitions and desires necessarily excited by objects or qualities totally independent of you?
