You can write a great country record and still be angry. Who's angrier than Toby Keith? He's angrier than the average 10 rappers.

I'm pretty good at getting over people throwing stuff at me. If you've been doing stand up long enough you know how to swing back and get the laughs.

When you die at 72, no matter what you die of, it's natural causes. Even if you get hit by a truck, it's natural causes. 'Cause if you was younger, you'd have got out the way!

So there's a cloud of rage around me, but being an artist kind of changes that. No matter what you thought coming in, what ignorant thing you believed, you're in show business for two years, you're like, "OK, I was wrong." It's hard to be mad at any particular group of people when you're an artist.

When you meet somebody for the first time, you're not meeting them. You're meeting their representative.

The two best things you can do for a person is have sex or make them laugh.

You can only offend me if you mean something to me.
