I always believed it would happen and stuck to my guns.

You get what you put in and people get what they deserve.

If I was president of the good old U.S.A., I'd turn the churches into strip clubs and watch the whole world pray.

I've been to your mountains, I've been to your sea-side, and everywhere I went somebody's wanted a free ride.

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.

I'm not worried about headlines affecting my family, especially my son. He knows who I am. Whatever these things he is reading, he has a different perspective than the rest of the world just as a lot of my friends do.

I remember coming home from school one time and saying very calmly to my mum, 'I'm not going any more. It's a waste of time. I gotta get going with this music thing. School's getting in the way.' It freaked her out.
