I want to stand for something, and it's probably going to be something that some people stand against.

When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'

I'm not the kind of person who thrives in "the scene." I know that when this is all over, and I'm no longer cool, I'm going to be just as happy because I'm going to be at home.

I've always had just enough success to buy me some more tour dates and another record.

If I had to choose my best day ever, my finest hour, my wildest dream come true, mine would be you.

We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside.

The Doobie Brothers' 'What a Fool Believes' makes me want to move. And I still haven't gotten over the Macarena. Who has?
