“There’s just enough drinking and cheating songs around without me adding to them. Unless you’ve got something better than “Misery and Gin” by Merle Haggard, you’re beating a dead horse.”

I keep a pretty tight grip on my schedule and I compare it a lot to a fireman’s – a four-on then four-off type of deal.

I want to keep my fan base supplied with a steady chain of music.

I couldn’t write a song to save my life. I wouldn’t say that I started to panic, but I was definitely getting frustrated. I couldn’t even cross a t or dot an i.

I think most performers are just lazy.

I’d like to think that throughout my career whatever my current record is has 110% of my best.

I still have a lot of passion for music, but I would quit it tomorrow if that’s what my family needed me to do. I’m sure I’d miss it, but it’s a job.

Once I made up my mind that music was what I wanted to do, I never looked back.

There might be some of them that don’t care. To me, it’s important that my fans know how much I appreciate them.

I just never gave anything else much thought after music. I just hope that I’m doing what God intended me to do, and that’s all.

I put everything in God’s hands, asking him to give me strength and understanding. I asked him to help me to be strong for my family and that he would continue to take care of us. One day, shortly after that, I woke up really inspired.

I always tell people that my primary job is being a dad and husband. Music is just what pays the bills.

I’ll work to maintain my work ethic out on the road, playing my shows, giving 110%, keeping God first, my family second, and treating my fans like royalty.

I’m living the dream. I’ve got a big tour bus, an incredible band, a big house, and a family that are all taken care of through my music. I’ve got a beautiful wife and three beautiful kids.

You should work at everything you do and try to perfect it as best you can.

Family is fun, way more fun than music.

I would rather have 100,000 fans for a lifetime than a million for a couple years.

There is one thing I would break up over, and that is if she caught me with another woman. I won’t stand for that.

Congress is hiding the details of their party president Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship. Rahul Gandhi’s real name is Rahul Vincy. They are cheating people by hiding the real names of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

I cheat my boys every chance I get. I trade with the boys and skin ’em and I just beat ’em every time I can. I want to make ’em sharp.

Someone who thinks the world is always cheating him is right. He is missing that wonderful feeling of trust in someone or something.

I have low self-esteem and I always have. Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, ‘How I can I compete with that?’ Being a regular black girl wasn’t good enough.

The only “ism” Hollywood believes in is plagiarism.

Eve left Adam, to meet the Devil in private.

I never, ever cheated [in medical school]. I don’t condone cheating. But I would sometimes spread misinformation. This is a great tactic. Misinformation can be very important.
