In 21 years there are a lot of ups and downs. There are melancholy times. There are sad times. There are happy times. There are unsure times. There are life lessons.

My fans get enough politics on TV every day. I want them to think for themselves. I don't want them to listen to me.

On the road, in my bunk, I sleep better than I do anywhere else in the world.

Don't blink. You just might miss your babies growing like mine did. Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your 'better half' Of fifty years is there in bed. And you're praying God takes you instead. Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think So don't blink.

The thing that I love, especially after sound check, is when I'm in that stadium alone. It's complete silence. I love that.

Early on I was just a kid in a cowboy hat with a bunch of other guys in a room that were putting out some records. Now thank God, in the past 3 or 4 years, when.. it's really hard to burn an image of a face with a song these days. I think that the songs like 'Don't Happen Twice' and 'Young' were songs that helped me do that and I think that 'I Go Back'(did) that even more.

I hate my smile. I always have, even in my school pictures when I was a little kid.
