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

Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

Mama is funny. She has a great sense of humor and loves a good joke. Loves a practical joke, too.

Everything I've done in my career is a result of growing up in rural Oklahoma, because if I hadn't had the training from Mama and Daddy to work hard, to do what I'm told, to take directions, to mind and to do a good job at anything I set out to do, then I wouldn't be where I am today.

Waiting makes me restless. When I'm ready, I'm ready.

When you're a very ambitious person, the things that are disappointing are when other people around you aren't as enthusiastic.
