I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.

I discovered in college that country music could be fun adding some swing to it.

I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget.

From here on after let's stay the way we are right now. And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow.

I don't think my music's as traditional as people make it out.

I've been blessed with the ability to sing, and that has taken me so many places I never would have gone otherwise.

This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.
