I'm a happy guy, but if I'm in a rare dark mood, I won't go out because I don't want to be horrible to people.

I don't live in Hollywood. I don't have celebrities as friends. I like them, but I don't pal around with them. I just live in the Midwest, a real normal world.

No one would have picked me out in high school and said, 'This guy is going to be in show business.' I don't have any of the talents you would normally associate with show business.

When I was first on 'Dancing With The Stars,' people were really shocked and surprised.

I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.

I'm not conflicted. Because I know. There's me, and there's the show.

I should get a weekend show where all I do is play country music.
