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

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

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'm not the hero who will always save the day, don't always wear a white hat, don't always know the way. I may not even be the dream you wanted to come true, but I'll always be the man in love with you.

You've got to keep the stage world and your real world separated or you're headed for trouble.

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

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.
