I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing. I'm as lonely as any man around, I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down.

I've written 90 percent of the songs in my career, on all my albums.

I have drawn a very close bond to all the military people.

My deal will always be one solo performance-nominated or not. Not some thrown together rock tribute.

My fans have been very loyal to me, so I want 'em into the mix every song. I don't want 'em having breaks on stuff I'm trying to push on them.

You've got my heart in unfamiliar territory. It's never been out here on my sleeve. But here tonight with you it's quite a different story. You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen.

I don't give a bleep if gays get married. That's just a contract, and that's between them and God. That ain't up to me to play God on that.
