I like the values in Flicka, and I wanted to do a movie my kids could see and be proud of.

What in your life allows you to give up to other people, and allows you to forgive others and accept forgiveness.

You know not having my real dad around and having a step dad made me want to be a great dad. So now I have been one for 9 years. And now 3 daughters. So, that is what I am - a dad, first and foremost, before anything else. It's just something that comes natural now.

I mean as long as I have been doing music I know I am only 30% of what I could be and want to be.

It's innate in me to be a Democrat - a true Southern populist kind of Democrat. There's not a lot of those anymore. I'm not saying I'm right or wrong. That's just the way I feel.

What are you doing son, you're gonna drive yourself insane. You'll never find the sunshine, when you're following the rain.

Sun on my shoulders and the wind at my back, bound and determined to get back on track to where the heart is..where it's been all along.
