Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.

I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.

When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.

My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.

Every seven years, I sit down and make a whole new plan.

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