If a song was ever good, it's still good.

If you wait for tomorrow to follow your dreams, by the time that you get there they're gone.

I have more dumb luck thank anybody I know. There must be a convey of guardian angels working twenty-four hours a day looking after me[...] Like the night I first got to Nashville that I laid down in the middle of Broadway, waiting to get run over. It didn't happen [...] I could swear they were keeping me alive just to see what I'd get next, I'm glad they feel that way. I'm trying to help them a little more this days.

...when you put your life in a good place, good things follow.

I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about - broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.

When you hear me, you know it's me, regardless of the song.

I believe in looseness.
