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.

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

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

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

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.
