I feel very good and positive about my future. I look forward to seeing the fans and doing what I do.

Our original name was Wild Country, but when we first went to The Bowery, they had the name of all 50 states around the edge of the club, so we went to the sign that said 'Alabama' and stuck our band name underneath it.

The writing part of my life never changes, because that's just when the inspiration comes.

I can't not be who I am.

As long as God lets me live, I want to do things that make a difference in the world besides play music.

The juices never stop flowing. I still write songs.

For me, when I grew up playing music, I played music in church and people were shouting and having a big time, and church wasn't something where it was subdued. If you played something, you brought it to church with you.
