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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've never listened to music lying down. Listening's reading if you close your eyes.Music's a wood you walk through.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It's always our self we find in the sea.

The course of nature is the art of God.

I also found that for myself, since I've had no religious education, it was so interesting to see the different versions of heaven and what life on earth means.

January is here, with eyes that keenly glow, A frost-mailed warrior striding a shadowy steed of snow.

The possession of power over others is inherently destructive both to the possessor of the power and to those over whom it is exercised.

Almost any man knows how to earn money, but not one in a million knows how to spend it.

Ideas are, in truth, forces. Infinite, too, is the power of personality. A union of the two always makes history.

That feeling of hopelessness only serves your masters.

If you're not proud of where you work, go work somewhere else.
