I think Charley Pride has been one of the best things to happen to country music, to prove it belongs to everybody.

I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.

You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.

I don't go to church regular. But I pray for answers to my problems.

I don't like to talk about things where you're going to gt one side or the other unhappy. My music has no politics.

I refuse to be pushed around anymore.

You have to be the first, best or different.
