There's bad in everything. I dislike people misusing something that I love so much. It goes beyond the money. It goes beyond all of that and the glory. I love what I've done and I just can't stand to see what they're doing to it. But I've learned to live with it because that's what they've done. They've come in with the modern sounds. I call it modern pop. It's not country anymore.

I took my $100,000 and bought a new Corvette, a lot of cocaine, and spent the rest on foolishness.

I lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking, the whole neighborhood knows that I'm home drunk again.

I just want to keep living on and enjoying food! Even though I'm gaining weight, I want to record if the Lord wants me to still record, and I just want to do my work on the road as long as I got those fans out there.

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 you're gonna drive me crazy baby, drive me to drink.

You can shut out the world. But you always have to stop, and the world is always waiting when you do.
