I have a life outside the arenas.

In the country field, we’re brought up in spiritual homes, we’re taught to “judge not lest you be judged,” and it’s always been a mystery to me how people jump all over things just to criticize, condemn and judge other people when that is so un-Christian – and they claim to be good Christians! We’re supposed to love one another. We’re supposed to accept and love one another. Whether we do or not, that’s a different story. But that’s what we’re supposed to do.

You don't see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!

People are always asking me in interviews, 'What do you think of foreign affairs?' I just say, 'I've had a few.'

Don't judge me by the cover, 'cause I'm a real good book.

All the fame and fortune, glory and prestige, can't make me happy if it goes against what I believe.
