I always enjoy it when I walk on stage. There were some times when I was working so much in the '80s, and I felt really burnt-out. But I'd be up there singing and not be 10,000 million miles away, you know, just opening my mouth and the words coming out.

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

On the Richter scale of love and romance, you've hit a twelve.

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

I think 'Beyond the Blue Neon' is the best I've ever done.

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

You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever.
