I'm a religious person. I honestly believe we will see each other in heaven someday.

I didn't want to be 40 or 50 years old and still playing clubs, I didn't feel like I was making any progress, and I actually gave the band notice at one point. I began to have doubts about my abilities.

I want to reach the point where people hear my name and immediately think of real country music.

I spend most of hunting season at the ranch. We all love to hunt whitetails, and we have a pretty good supply in South Texas. I also love to hunt elk in Arizona, mule deer in Utah, and I've been to Canada to hunt caribou.

Even though I've been doing it for so long, I still feel fresh. Even when I walk out on stage, I still feel pretty much the same as I've always felt.

Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind.

Sinatra, in my opinion, is possibly the greatest male singer of all time.
