I have been fortunate enough to record several singles and a whole album with Chet Atkins.

But it's just been recently that Nashville has started to feel like home.

Ive always seen myself as sort of this funky, eclectic artist.

I'm a real Suzy Homemaker.

After I found April Barrows, I felt I had found a soul mate. Her stuff is exactly what I was looking for.

I love decorating my home. I'm a gardener too, so that's usually something I have to play catch up with

I think somewhere in the back of my mind I've always wanted to make a whole swing album.

One of the things that I think is such a constant in country music is that the song is so much a story. I believe it is supposed to be based around a story.

When you least expect it is when the person you always dreamt of will finally show up.

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism

The day here is a something without value, a mere torment suffered by living creatures as they await the night. Night is deliverance.

There is good news. Scientists sent a probe down there in the Gulf of Mexico today and they found traces of seawater.

There are people that say they will do better but they never do better. They have no power in them to do better until they come to Christ.

I'm not the best audience for that because I'm not a great science-fiction fan. I just never got off on space ships and space costumes, things like that.

People make great films. I just don't have the eyes to watch them.

Thank God for a few free waves.

The proper artistic response to digital technology is to embrace it as a new window on everything thats eternally human, and to use it with passion, wisdom, fearlessness and joy

It requires but little acquaintance with the heart to know that woman's first wish is to be handsome; and that, consequently, the readiest method of obtaining her kindness is to praise her beauty.
