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.

We did some massive flirting in front of the nation, but there was never anything more than that.

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.

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 do ballads that say what every man wants to say and that every woman wants to hear, or I do songs about social issues.

There is a trade off - as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.
