I can't wait to get off the bus and... go on stage and entertain people. That's my thing, that's what I love. I love doing it... I thank God I can make a living doing it.

My next project will be a Christian album, another one. I wrote the songs for the ones you're referring to, but I want to do some of my old gospel favorites. That's what my next album's going to be.

I can't imagine not having a reason to get out of bed at night.

What this world needs is a few more Rednecks.

I just feel such freedom to do whatever. If a song's seven minutes or ten minutes long, then so be it - it's that long.

If I come across an issue, or something I feel strongly about, and I happen to think of a song that would go in that direction, then I do it. But that's not what I start out, necessarily, to do. Sometimes I may have an idea for a song - "Well, I'm going to write about a thing.

If I can't take Jesus Christ with me, I don't want to go.
