I guess I lost my way, there were so many roads. I was living to run, and running to live, never worried about paying or even how much I owed.

Even in junior high, I always knew I had a talent for music and I knew I could make money that way.

I write a lot of songs people don't hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish 'em all. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones.

I'm not a number. Dammit, I'm a man.

You can't get a good crew and a good sound system, and a good light system if you do a small tour. If you want the best, those guys want a commitment of about 4 to 6 months. And I'd want the best people and the best stuff.

I was a runner, a failed quarterback, third-string quarterback, but in track I was a 2-miler.

I really like the thing I did with Martina McBride. I had that song sitting around for a long time.
