I get ticked off a lot because I don't think she [Faith Hill] gets the respect she deserves. I tell her all the time, "If you were 300 pounds and dog ugly, people would think you were the greatest singer in the world." They have the tendency to look at her and never really listen to her. The reason it works is she's a fantastic artist. It's almost embarrassing for me to sing with her sometimes.

Like an old photograph, time can make a feeling fade, but the memory of a first love never fades away.

Like I say, I'm always writing and if something sticks, it sticks. I get to write with great songwriters in town. Lori McKenna is one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriters who's ever walked the planet. I get to write with her. The Warren Brothers are friends of mine and I write with them all the time. Lance Miller is a great songwriter. Tom Douglas - you can't get any better than that. I write a lot of stuff but it's got to stick.

She said I bet you dont remember me And I said only every other memory.

When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost. It's worth all that's lost, just to see you smile.

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

We're very blessed, just very fortunate to have the things we have.
