I always tell people that my primary job is being a dad and husband. Music is just what pays the bills.

You should work at everything you do and try to perfect it as best you can.

There's just enough drinking and cheating songs around without me adding to them. Unless you've got something better than "Misery and Gin" by Merle Haggard, you're beating a dead horse.

I'll work to maintain my work ethic out on the road, playing my shows, giving 110%, keeping God first, my family second, and treating my fans like royalty.

Family is fun, way more fun than music.

I couldn't write a song to save my life. I wouldn't say that I started to panic, but I was definitely getting frustrated. I couldn't even cross a t or dot an i.

I want to keep my fan base supplied with a steady chain of music.

I would rather have 100,000 fans for a lifetime than a million for a couple years.

I still have a lot of passion for music, but I would quit it tomorrow if that's what my family needed me to do. I'm sure I'd miss it, but it's a job.

I'd like to think that throughout my career whatever my current record is has 110% of my best.

I think most performers are just lazy.

The glorious riches of God are inexhaustible.

The history of free men is never written by chance but by choice - their choice.

I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want.

The secret of change consists in concentrating one's energy to create the new, and not to fight against the old.

When you're filming something, you have marks and spots you have to be in.

People want to know more about me. They want to know who I am.

Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.

If every rich person gave 50 percent of their wealth to charity, I would not say they should pay more taxes.

It's really weird to be in more than one franchise because an actor's life is so nomadic, and so it's a real privilege to get back together with people.

Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.
