All my life, I just felt that I should have finished my education.

To me, redneck is a sense of self and a way of life.

I got to where I couldn't listen to country radio. Country music is supposed to have steel and fiddle. When I hear country music, it should be country.

I just like Raisin Bran - it keeps me regular.

My daughter is a redneck woman, she's a redneck girl.

Good music is good music.

Mothers and daughters have that rivalry thing.

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah.

I don't know if I'll ever get used to hearing my name being mentioned alongside all these other legendary artists that have come before me.

Well I'm an eight ball shooting, double-fisted drinking son of a gun

I'm a mom first, a singer second.

I cherished her individuality, that spark of independence no child should lose to life's restrictions and parameters.

Writing a book is burning your brain to enlighten another man's mind

But when the flash flood crosses your path, when the lion leaps at you from the grasses, advanced self-awareness is an unaffordable indulgence. The brain stem does its best.

It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.

You have to realize I like doing big movies that appear on a big screen. So the visuals and the audio have to be of a certain quality before I start to get excited about the thing.

What you have to do is to look at what's going to keep our economic growth going, what's going to make sure jobs are being created.

Generals do not always run wars the way they would like to, nor the troops under them.

I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise it's just not fashion.

If my desire is possible, it means the system is already letting something else through.

I feel joy when I do a great show. I get fun out of making other people happy. I'm a terminal people-pleaser. I suppose that's why I'm a frontman.
