I only took about five guitar lessons in my life from an actual teacher. I learned fast that that wasn't for me. I didn't have the attention span to learn that way. So I learned the basics from my dad, then just from playing on stage, and watching other guitar players.

You're not going to hear me singing songs about Wall Street because I don't know anything about that.

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 had a friend, Melissa, who was 28 years old. She was my best friend's wife, and she was my wife's best friend. She died of breast cancer. When she passed away back in 2004 was the last time I cried.

It feels good when your hometown supports you, and Macon's always done that with us. Every time we come here, it's an event - which is nice.
