I'm usually just enjoying life.

I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.

I think if you retire from touring, then people think you are retired.

I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.

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.

It's a scary word, 'cancer.'

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.
