You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eyes, and I'm getting blown away.

The money needed to run for office, the money spent on lobbying by special interests, the ever increasing economic disparity and the well-funded legislative decisions all favour corporate interests over the people's.

I think I'm going to be making country records for as long as I can see into the future. It's much more down-home and real.

When people start asking you to do the same thing over and over again, that's when you know you're way too close to something that you don't want to be near.

Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.

The youth of this country are not behind what is going on. We all know that. If you looked at a [political] map of the United States 25 and under, it's all-revealing. It's a unified map.

People who agree with you already agree with you -- you don't change peoples minds.
