Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.

I'll be like Bob Hope, touring when I'm 100.

I think that I'm perfect.

I hope you're never happy with anybody but me, and every face you look into, I hope you're haunted by me. Yes, I'm possessive and jealous, at least I speak honestly.

I haven't stopped working since I was 10.

I used to sing songs and write with my uncle, Bill Owens.

I do think there's gonna always be a group of country people that are always going to love the old traditional sound.
