I'd much rather have the honesty than not. Because if you will say what's on your mind and get it off your chest, then the sooner I can prove you wrong!

If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.

I'm sitting in the drive-through and I've got my three girls in the back and this station comes on and it's playing “Jailhouse Rock,” the original version, and my girls are jumping up and down, going nuts. I'm looking around at them and they've heard Dad's music all the time and I don't see that out of them.

My biggest problem with the retirement thing was I'd be leaving the part of this business that I enjoy the most... the entertaining part, being on stage and seeing how the music affects people.

I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.

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.

Thank God for unanswered prayers.
