The traditions of a nation are very important and the anthem written by Francis Scott Key in the early days of our nation should always be revered.

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.

Historically, America has answered to a higher authority.

My personality is that I'm a human being like everybody else, just a citizen and a blue collar guy.

The Constitution of the United States allows us to change; I don't have a problem with that.

When I'm through with the Lee Greenwood Theatre, I won't do anything else in entertainment. Maybe I'll become an ambassador for the United States maybe I'll get into television, some news anchoring or something in a major city. Certainly the visibility would interest me a little bit. But someplace that would allow me to sit still certainly.

When our forefathers put down roots in desolate places, the thing that allowed them to survive was that they had a faith to see them through the tough times.
