Stay away from trouble when you can.

I had holes in my jeans well before it was fashionable.

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

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

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

With all my heart, and all my soul, I will love you till the winds don't blow. Until the oceans turn to stone, my love is yours and yours alone. My love is forever, until forever's gone.

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.
