Now one thing I think is really lame, is if you're an artist and you go to a karaoke bar and sing your own song. I like to get up there and sing stuff that I would never sing on stage anywhere else. Like Neil Diamond.

My dad started teaching me how to play guitar when I was 13 years old. When he'd go to work, he'd map out guitar cords on a piece of notebook paper. I'd sit down and look at it every day and practice while he was gone.

I would say, 'Go ask any couple that's been married for 30, 40, 50 years... It hasn't always been roses.'

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.

I love playing music. And that's what it's all about.

I haven't figured out why people like what they like. I don't know. I wish I did. I could sell that to everybody, man, and be a millionaire.

My dad encouraged anything I wanted to do, especially music. Actually he drove me around to places where I could play.
