Records are one thing, and obviously, without hit songs, you don't have the opportunity to do your shows. But my live show has always been my selling tool.

Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones.

Hearing people clapping draws you in pretty quick. It's like bungee cord jumping - it's a rush; you just want to do it again.

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.

I didn't get into music to become famous and I didn't get into music to become rich either - I got into because I liked it.

I don't think I really have any wisdom. Stay out of trouble. Good luck. Stay away from women because they will burn you, haha.

I think it's important to do things that you're interested in. I think it's important to have other outlets away from the music industry.

No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do. You can't please anybody.

I'm a country boy. I'm from Georgia.

I think country music is obviously a great form of music. I think it's cool and has mass appeal.

The ultimate altruism is nothing but the sacrifice of one’s self for the benefit of others. Love yourself but never forget to be altruistic to others in need.

We can burst the bonds which chain us, Which cold human hands have wrought, And where none shall dare restrain usWe can meet again, in thought.

Grass is never green by accident.

The truest experience of life is when we dream awake.

Writing your own jokes, you just kind of keep working on something until you think it might work, and then you try it out and hope for the best.

The main source of good discipline is growing up in a loving family, being loved and learning to love in return.

Music is a passion of mine. Im always listening, always learning.

A bore is someone who persists in holding his own views after we have enlightened him with ours.

Most of our modern portrait painters are doomed to absolute oblivion. They never paint what they see. They paint what the public sees, and the public never sees anything.

I'll keep waiting because I'm a young man. I'm not as old as they think.
