I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody.

I took a complete year off the road, but a big part of that year was making 'The Big Revival.' I needed that down time just so I could concentrate. The one thing that starts it all for us is the music. That's what you create in the studio. That's where the magic happens.

I was definitely born a dreamer. I could never sit still, and I can't now.

One word, that's all you said and something in your voice caused me to turn my head. Your smile just captured me.

When I try to brush the road dust off of me and untangle all the wires in my head, I'm usually surrounded by music on a boat. But that's not how I wake up every day.

I do sing about drinking, but it's in a party way. I don't sing about drinking in a drowning-my-sorrows way, like in George Jones's "If Drinking Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will)."

When Obama talks about raising taxes on the rich, he's looking at me.
