While I'm playing baseball, I'm still writing songs and having tapes sent to me. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time in the whirlpool resting these tired bones, so I'll be thinking of music then.

Getting older doesn't help you in the fact that you might have covered some of this ground before. So you're listening to a song that you know is a hit, but it just can't be a hit for you, it's gonna be a hit for somebody else. That's tough.

I believe in the 'Wal-Mart' school of business. The less people pay, the more they enjoy it.

We treat the lyrics like the woman any man wants to impress the most. We give the lyrics all the attention we can. I'm not sure other formats are remembering that the lyrics are what it's all about.

What I do is so this world will know that it will not change me.

I love being a part of country music. I love going out and... doing things for the first time for country music. I always enjoy that.

I'm not sure how we exist, as an artist, without country radio.
