George Jones was my friend and I loved him.

I have always loved Waffle House. It's been like an oasis in the desert many times late at night after one of my concerts.

There's a gratification that comes from performing in front of a live audience, and you can't replicate that with anything else. In the studio, the creation part of this business is fun. But, when you see the fans letting you know that they enjoy what you're doing, that's why I keep doing what I do.

I've never been trained as an actor. I'm no Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Johnny Depp.
