I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups.

I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it.

In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.

I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did.

I can't live off of yesterday - that's in the past.

Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound.

I'm really fortunate that I've had some mega hits.
