Friendships come and go, but families are forever.

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.

You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run.

If someone asks you to run the 100 yard dash as fast as you can, you'll run the 100 dash as fast as you think you can. But if you put someone along side you who runs a little faster, you are going to run faster - whoa - I better step it up a little bit. I do things even I didn't know I was capable of.

Youth is a frame of mind. If you get out there and enjoy it, you can have it at any time of your life.

I never had a doubt in my mind. I always knew that, with the right material, I could pop a hit.

I'm much more comfortable singing than talking.
