Country music to me is heartfelt music that speaks to the common man. It is about real life stories with rather simple melodies that the average person can follow. Country music should speak directly and simply about the highs and lows of life. Something that anyone can relate to.

I'd rather sing a sad song than eat.

I just thank God I'm still here and the main thing is to try to get closer and closer to Him as much as I can so that I can treat my friends and my family the way they should be treated.

If people liked your singing well enough, if you were special to them, then you never left their minds throughout all of the years.

I've had a lot of practice and wrong's what I do best.

Loneliness is lessened when you're lonely by choice.

No matter what song I recorded or sang, I did it my way.
