Radio is aimed at the 30-year-old market, so you have to have great music and appeal to get that age group. And you need a record company to believe in you. It's like a bit of the perfect storm.

I still like going on the road and performing, but it's getting tougher. I try to have my wife and the twins with me but it's getting harder and harder for them. They need to be in a home environment and not traveling with me.

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.

You gotta know when to hold'em, know when to foldem, know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin at the table, there'll be time enuff for countin' when the dealin's done.

There's a new hit rock group or singer every five minutes, but with country music, you have one hit and those people love you forever.

If I could undo what's been done, But I guess everyone is living, With water and bridges.

Music is what I am, everything else is what I do.
