I love Velveeta cheese.

People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

My biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

I'm just a person; I like to experience whatever the feeling is and whatever I'm going through.
