If I found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, I'd want to give her a black eye! Instead, I wrote this song. At the time I was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind I was in by listening closely. With every song I've ever recorded, I'm in it. I wouldn't write about it if I wasn't in it.

We still lend our old house out to relatives. They keep a guest book for my fans to sign.

Some of my friends who know me best say they wouldn't trade places with me for $1 million because of the pace I lead.

I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have.

You either have to be first, best, or different.

You have to be different, great or first.

When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
