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

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 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.

Once I made up my mind that music was what I wanted to do, I never looked back.

Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plans."A great reminder when planning out the school year.

The only way you can truly get to know an author is through the trail of ink he leaves behind him. The person you think you see is only an empty character: truth is always hidden in fiction.

[Judith Warner:] Our neurotic quest to perfect the mechanics of mothering can be interpreted as an effort to do on an individual level what we’ve stopped trying to do on a society-wide one.

Twitter is most suitable for me. In the Chinese language, 140 characters is a novella.

Life is not a mixture of matter and energy but energy in matter, bound in such a way that dissociation is impossible so long as the living process continues.

The blind cannot see the sun.

No misery or bad situation is ever infinite or final until we make a conscious decision for it to be so. ~ Inferno

I think all comics borrow from each other. Only a few have an original voice, and I wasn't one of them. In the end, I couldn't figure out who to steal from, so I stopped doing it.

I know what it takes to put a record together, so I'm not looking for people to come in and shape it.

Denying self isn't a one-time thing, but a daily task.
