I didn't get into music to become famous and I didn't get into music to become rich either - I got into because I liked it.

Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones.

Hearing people clapping draws you in pretty quick. It's like bungee cord jumping - it's a rush; you just want to do it again.

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.

I don't think I really have any wisdom. Stay out of trouble. Good luck. Stay away from women because they will burn you, haha.

I think it's important to do things that you're interested in. I think it's important to have other outlets away from the music industry.

No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do. You can't please anybody.

I'm a country boy. I'm from Georgia.

There's nothing cooler than a good fitting, worn-in pair of Wrangler jeans, so it's great that with the new Retro line, my fans can go out and rock the same styles that I love.

I love fried okra. The fact that it's okra makes me feel like it's good for you - I forget the fact that it's fried.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

I never met a person who loved everybody I didn't dislike.

The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.

Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things.

Often we come home from a sharing session with a feeling that something precious has been taken away from us or that holy ground has been trodden upon.

If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he CAN do something about it.

I'm sure clubs have a lot of power these days.

That's why there's so little romance in our world now: everyone thinks romance is weak.

The successful leader does not talk down to people. He lifts them up.
