I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.

I've had several working-man songs that I like.

I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.

You have to be tough-skinned and willing to accept criticism, and at the same time, 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.

My mother kept asking me, "When are you going to do a gospel album?" And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.

The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.

Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics. Half of them I'd hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn't even know it.
