I've had a couple of guys that I've had co-produce records with me through my career, and it's fun to work with a co-producer.

I don't feel like I've nearly got to the place where I'm ready to even slow down.

I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail.

What I have seen in the past 10 years of traveling- performing at a church one day and a casino the next- is that a lot of people in the church want to be entertained, and people in casinos want to be ministered to. That's hard to understand, but I see a hunger in the world that I don't see in the church.

When Jack White called and wanted me to do a video and play mandolin with The Raconteurs, I didn't know anything about The Raconteurs at that time.

I always had a standard of, back when I was doing the country music I always told people I would never record a song that I wouldn't sit down and sing in front of my mom and dad.

I hate negative songs; I won't sing them. It doesn't matter if it's sold 2 million more albums.
