But I'm a great father. That's why I got custody.

I love women and I love the women I have been with. I always try to be kind and cautious and treat people nice.

I know a lot of people who are struggling musicians; it's a hard life, and I've risked being that. The rewards are tremendous now that I've made it, I thank God every day. But I put it all on the line for it.

Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.

I pissed on my diploma, smell the aroma.

I see friends who are in different genres of music, and they say they're so burnt playing the same stuff every night. That's why you see a country act wanting to go out and play an old classic rock song. But what cracks me up is that they all want to be Jimmy Buffett. I can't figure that out.

People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.
