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.

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

My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also.

You know, legends are people like Haggard and Jones and Wills and Sinatra. Those people are legends. I'm just a young buck out here trying to keep in that same circle with the rest of 'em.

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records. And I wanted everything that went along with it.

Swing is my favorite kind of music.

I got ex's all across the country and I owe everybody in town. I got bill collectors a callin' me up, and lawyers trying to track me down.
