A new artist today has to get their teeth fixed, has to tighten their jeans up, and they have to get 'em the right kind of hat, and if anything's wrong with their nose, if it's a little crooked, it's got to be straightened up.

If drinking don't kill me, her memory will.

After the first couple of years recording I did a lot of praying. I said, 'Lord, please give me a hit.' I want one so bad.

There's nothing prettier in the world than a melody. I can get lost in a song with a melody.

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

I sing from my heart, I love country music and I love the people that respond to it. You never see yourself as others do but I've always beeen proud to be part of country music and I hope that the format is proud of me.

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