My album was recorded in Nashville. It used to be all about "We're from Texas, forget Nashville," well you'll never hear me say that. Nashville isn't bad as long as you're true to yourself.

I am who I am and I don't think you can put a label on it.

I just continue to be myself and give this thing over to the good lord, just do my best every night and pretend like it's just any other job.

When your songs are like your babies, even the one that you know aren't great, you still love.

I try not to keep my head in the clouds .

I think if you expect it to do well, you come off a little bit cocky.

I think everything moving forward will just be instinctual, like we'll know exactly which doors to walk through when they open.

In my opinion, if you buy a ticket to see me you're buying experience. People don't want to see me stand there and play guitar, they want to party with us.

I'd love to do a live record, I'd love to do an acoustic record, I'm already thinking about what I may want to do with the next studio record.

I try to make sure that, when I'm writing, I don't put too much Cody in it. But I don't want to lose it either.

I have a conscience, man, and I've worked really hard to keep it where you would feel like you were talking to the same man at one of my shows or sitting down at my dinner table.

Practicing mindfulness enables us to become a real person. When we are a real person, we see real people around us, and life is present in all its richness.

Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.

There are threads in our lives. You pull one, and everything else gets affected.

Tax is for the poor or the stupid people.

Go to the Martin Beck Theatre and watch Katherine Hepburn run the gamut of emotions from A to B.

I just kind of understood it, and I threw my love for others and love for life into the character, and was having a blast. I loved playing Dharma. I loved it!

Do not take yourself too seriously. You have to learn not to be dismayed at making mistakes. No human being can avoid failures.

[Imagination] must be visited constantly, or else it begins to become restless and emit strange bellows at embarrassing moments; ignoring it only makes it grow larger and noisier.

Like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more.

It is clear that economics, if it is to be a science at all, must be a mathematical science.
