I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

Oklahoma's always been good to me.

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.

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

You think a lot of people get to be big stars and get a little crazy, but most of the ones I've ever met have always been surprisingly normal, and I've enjoyed that.

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?

If anything good came out of 9/11, to me, was that people were so cynical about the world - all you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there. For every one bad one, there's a thousand good ones.
