No matter what does, or doesn't, happen for me in the music industry, getting to play the Opry as a kid was always be a highlight of mine.

My first place in Nashville was like Animal House. The whole band lived under one roof, and most nights the jam sessions ended close to sunrise.

I feel like I am in turbo mode as a student of entertainment.

I build an entire fort out of pillows. I need at least four pillows. I need on each side, I need one normal usage pillow for the back of my head, and I need another pillow just in case.

My best friend from college engineered my record. He and I keep in touch on just a purely one-music-fan-to-another basis.

Playing the Opry, when I get the opportunity - it's one of the coolest honors for any musician in any genre, but especially for a country musician.

I'm really lucky to have some super-talented friends.

I try to aim high and put myself in positions where I'm the least experienced person.

Things have always happened better for me than I could plan them to.

Things just always seem to lead to the logical next step.

I dreamt of land but that was so long ago.I don't even know if he still exists.

Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old.

There is so much wonder and joy in science, about understanding how the world works and why the world is the way it is. It's not just for academics. It is a thing that's available to everyone.

Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.

Of evils one should choose the least. [Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.]

Keep your eye on the main event.

I don't want to do anything that violates my own personal code of ethics and morals.

Too many choices can overwhelm us and cause us to not choose at all. For businesses, this means that if they offer us too many choices, we may not buy anything.

I'd rather fight 100 structure fires than a wildfire. With a structure fire you know where your flames are, but in the woods it can move anywhere; it can come right up behind you.

Though miles may lie between us, we're never far apart, for friendship doesn't count the miles, it's measured by the heart.
