My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards, selling out concert dates, selling more albums than anyone else. Now, my goals are to see my grandchildren grown, live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.

I don't think quantity time is as special as quality time with your family.

I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me.

Thou shalt not whine' should be the eleventh commandment.

If you're happy, you've got the Lord on your side.

I've got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody's looking.

You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.
