I love to fish offshore for billfish, and have fished all over for them from the Bahamas, St. Thomas, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico to the Texas gulf. I haven't made it to Australia yet, but someday I'm going.

I like the part where you walk up on the stage and you're up there for the show. I like that part.

I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones.

In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

I was a young troubadour when I rode in on a song. And, I'll be an old troubadour when I'm gone.

I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can.

I like people who are loyal to me, and I like to be loyal, too.
