I've got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away.

James Taylor and God are the reasons I play music.

I remember in the '80s, Randy Travis was my guy. He's the reason I moved to Nashville, and I just loved him. But at some point when he was winning everything, you find yourself pulling for other people.

If you want to know how important Portland is to me, there's no Saturday night gigs here. They weren't available. So our whole thing coming into Portland, which is going to be different from anybody else, any other city, is every night is Saturday night.

Failure isn't failure if a lesson from it's learned. I guess love would not be love without a risk of being burned.

The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.

It would have been fun to have played Tim Robbins' role in Bull Durham.
