Anytime I sing the anthem, it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.

From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

That's gotta be the one remaining constant - jeans have gotta be tight, baby.

I want my music to jump off the stage and out of the speakers. When we do 'Rain Is A Good Thing' paired back to back with 'Country Girl,' it just feels like the roof is fixin' to come off the place.

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.

It's pretty cool to see how far music can take you.

Probably fishing is my first passion.

My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me.

My dad is very successful in his business. He's always been big in having hobbies and having little ways to get away. He always made time for hunting and fishing. He always encouraged me to do it.

I've always enjoyed things going at a nice pace, nothing too fast, nothing too crazy.

You never take your fans for granted. You always appreciate them every show, night in, night out.

When you get performance slots for award shows - that's a big deal for me.

Nothing is more frustrating to me than putting a song on an album and regret putting it on there. I'm excited that there are no songs on 'Tailgates & Tanlines' that I'm iffy about.

The agents of etatism have certainly not been lacking in zeal and energy. But, for all this, economic affairs cannot be kept going by magistrates and policemen.

Thinking is always thinking of a potential action.

Are the atoms of the dextroacid (tartaric) grouped in the spirals of a right-hand helix or situated at the angles of an irregular tetrahedron, or arranged in such or such particular unsymmetrical fashion? We are unable to reply to these questions. But there can be no reason for doubting that the grouping of the atoms has an unsymmetrical arrangement with a non-superimposable image. It is not less certain that the atoms of the laevo-acid realize precisely an unsymmetrical arrangement of the inverse of the above.

They’re out there. Black boys in white suits up before me to commit sex acts in the hall and get it mopped up before I can catch them.

He's safe as long as he can laugh, he thinks, and it works pretty fair.

I forget sometimes what laughter can do.

Ah, ah, ahhh ... first one gets mad, then one goes mad
