I didn't rebel in the way a lot of people do.

Not only am I trying to be a daddy, but also a friend, not be the old fogey thats slowing everybody else down... not for a while, at least.

You have to make a lot of sacrifices, and the main thing you have to sacrifice is your privacy. It's funny because when I was growing up, my daddy was and still is an insurance agent in our home town. He couldn't go anywhere without somebody recognizing him or needing something from him.

I like to fish when it's not too hot.

I grew up going to a real small missionary baptist church. We would sing a lot of the old standards... the hymns and everything. Those songs are still my favorite and are pretty timeless.

I came from a rural background, and I didn't come in contact with a lot of wealthy people.

Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
