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.

You don't have to be a cheater to sing a cheatin' song, that's what I'm saying.

I spend most of hunting season at the ranch. We all love to hunt whitetails, and we have a pretty good supply in South Texas. I also love to hunt elk in Arizona, mule deer in Utah, and I've been to Canada to hunt caribou.

I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years.

I just continue to look for different material, great material, as good as I can find, and try to go in there and do as good a job as I can do in making it a record. That's all you can expect. That's all that you can do.

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 glad He had the never while staring into space, to give this universe a time and place.
