I'm an entertainer. If people are paying good money for tickets they deserve the best show they can see. I don't get into lighting stuff on fire, but I do believe in going the extra mile.

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

I grew up with all kinds of music, but my heart was particularly drawn to Country Music because of the guitar playing, the lyrics and of artists like Steve Warner and Vince Gill.

Christmas makes me happy no matter what time of year it comes around.

There is not many tenors in the male category and that makes me stick out.

One time when somebody showed up in a wedding dress, but I never knew if it was a joke, or she was serious. She asked me to marry her. She was serious. It was pretty funny.

If I ever did cross over I would like to do it tactfully. I don't want to offend anyone in country. Can you have the best of both worlds? I sure like the idea of it!

What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.

I've never really been a traditional country kind of guy. I wanted my music to sound more like the end of the '90s and to have the kind of great music, pop or whatever, that radio will embrace.

Both of my parents were musicians.

I've always wanted to be a real universal artist, one that every type of audience could relate to.

No amount of wealth or power can ever make you a rich as a free man.

People don't believe in positive changes anymore.

It's always something to get one's wish, even if the wish is a failure.

We have to transform our energy system.

Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement.

When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you

If it doesn't start with you, it dies with you.

I have found by experience that they who have spent all their lives in cities contract not only an effeminacy of habit, but of thinking.

To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
