Come on boys, you must listen unto me, lay off the whiskey and let that cocaine be.

The battle against the dark one and the clinging to the right one is what my life is about.

Happiness is being at peace, being with loved ones, being comfortable...but most of all, it's having those loved ones.

Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

What I said, what are you [Rick Rubin] going to do with me that nobody else has been able to do to sell records with me?

So I simply don't buy the concept of "Generation X" as the "lost generation." I see too many good kids out there, kids who are ready and willing to do the right thing, just as Jack was. Their distractions are greater, though. There's no more simple life with simple choices for the young.

The gospel of Christ must always be an open door with a welcome sign for all.
