Now me and my brother go to see him some times but he don't have much to say anymore. So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D. Here's to a long line of sinners like me.

When I first started, you could go to a college campus and it was not cool to wear a country artist's shirt on campus. It was taboo, and there was a stigma involved. In the time from then till now, I'm amazed at how much things have changed. It's young now, it's cool, it's hip

I've always thought, it's the artist that write the songs and make the records. And it's our responsibility to set the tone for what's happening in the industry. And I take that seriously.

I've played shows with injuries before but unfortunately cannot overcome having no voice.

The most important thing for me as an artist is having an identity.

I am very thankful and blessed to have a healthy and happy baby boy and baby mama.

I don't care if I starve.
