I am honored that they would include me in the Cabinet as a member and contributor.

I have major respect for Kenny Chesney and Carrie Underwood and Sugarland. They are wonderful. They're superstars in the music business.

Ray Charles has always been a big part of my life.

I work hard to let my wife know how much I love her. I try to do that every day.

When I was in high school, I read all of Neil Simon's plays.

When I was growing up, I always knew that if I ever got anything, I was going to give back as much as I can. I learned that all you have to be willing to do is give your time.

I don't think I get the respect as a singer. With this record, I wanted to bring respect to my band.
