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've always liked Frank Sinata and Big Band music.

You can lead a heart to love, but you can't make it fall.

I listen to Mark Chestnutt and think he's a great singer - and he really does good material.

I'm not here for a long time. I'm here for a short time

I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.

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