I'm coming up on 40 next year, and after making so many records and doing music for so long, I'm looking for a change and a different perspective. And every now and then, I think I have something I want to say.

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

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

The way he shook his hips up there on that stage, but before that fateful day when he left Tennessee all of them were calling him the King.

I'm actually not an exhibitionist at all. When you get onstage and you get under the lights playing music, I feel more hidden and more alone than anywhere else. You hide behind your music and let your emotions come out through the music.

I want to run for the Senate from Tennessee. Not now, but when I'm 50, when music dies down a little bit. I know lots of artists and actors have those delusions of grandeur, but ever since I was a kid, it's been of interest to me.

Some say it's too country, some say it's too rock n' roll. But it's just good music if you can feel it in your soul.
